Five days after Corona Projector Roni Noma took office, the plan to close loopholes at the crossings into Israel, which led to the latest outbreak, begins to become clear. According to the plan, all traveling down a country immune restoration that maximum risk at Ben Gurion Airport will conduct rapid antigen testing, PCR testing not as committed today. Returnees who are not vaccinated and those returning from a maximum risk, will continue to do PCR tests.
In addition, the Ministry of Health continue to insist that any passenger , Even if he is vaccinated and came from a non-dangerous country, he will undergo a PCR test at Ben Gurion Airport. However, as the number of pilots increases, the demand becomes almost impossible, causing long queues, which lead the office to release many passengers without inspection. Meanwhile, many do not get the answers to their tests even two days after the test and so the contagion chains continue.
The real problem of the Ministry of Health is the countries with the travel warning. The office is still considering the plan
Because of the 15 countries defined as non-maximum risk and therefore the program is not yet fully closed.
The dilemma is whether the returnees will do a rapid antigen test like from the "green" countries or a standard PCR test like those who are not vaccinated and return from countries at maximum risk.

The antigen tests make it possible to get an answer within 15 minutes, and a person who is already ill at the airport, turned out positive in the tests as well.
However, the sensitivity in these tests is high because even those who come out negative in the test - the result is certainly not correct.
To do this, the returnees will have to perform another inspection, but not at the port, so that no large queues will be created.
According to data from the Ministry of Health, in the past month, 188 verified people were found at Ben Gurion Airport and another 95 were verified ten days after their return to Israel. A total of 276 new patients returned from abroad.
