The Corona Cabinet is expected to convene tomorrow (Tuesday) for a discussion that will address the tightening of restrictions.
This, in the shadow of the continuing rise in morbidity in Israel.
In addition, the ministers will discuss the possibility of reducing gatherings, tightening green label regulations and increasing the number of countries declared banned from flying.
The Ministry of Health is considering recommending to the cabinet the aggravation of the green mark, so that there will be a restriction and a duty to test children everywhere, and not just gatherings of more than a hundred people.
However there will still be places that will not require a green label such as malls, libraries and parks.

Another issue discussed in the Cabinet is increasing the number of countries banned from flying Israelis, with the aim of reducing the list of red countries to the bare minimum and in practice applying the obligation of isolation to all, including vaccinated and recovering, to a larger number of countries.
At the same time, the list of green countries whose return does not require isolation will be greatly reduced.
Senior ministry officials will explain to the cabinet that the number of verified returnees from green countries exceeds 200 every day, and in the midst of the epidemic Israel cannot afford to import disease.
