Cabinet of Experts: To repeal the ban on travel to red countries in the next two weeks
Experts also recommend that the Prime Minister further examine the abolition of isolation for the vaccinated, and recommend that risk groups consider participating in closed-space gatherings, where an increase in infections due to the spread of the corona virus strain of the coronavirus is expected.

The Cabinet of Experts today (Sunday) recommended to Prime Minister Naftali Bennett that the ban on travel to the red countries be lifted in the next two weeks, against the background of the spread of the coronavirus' omicron strain.
This is due to the assumption that in about two weeks, most of the illness and infection will occur in Israel anyway.

The experts also recommended that the abolition of isolation for the vaccinated be examined later.
In this context, there is a dilemma regarding the level of risk in the release of vaccines, since they are also contagious.
The argument in favor is that even if the vaccinated are contagious - they are less contagious.
In addition, the Cabinet also estimates that there will be an increase in infections in closed-space activities under the green label, so experts recommend that risk groups consider participating in these gatherings.
