In the European Union, it was decided yesterday (Wednesday) that starting this Monday, May 16, the obligation to wear masks on flights in EU countries, which join the United Kingdom, the United States and other countries, will be removed in a decision made in quite a few places around the world.
Senior officials in the Ministry of Health confirm to "Israel Today" that the issue has come up in recent discussions in Israel as well and that there is relatively broad support for such a move.
Israel, as mentioned, remains one of the last Western countries that has not yet abolished the obligation to wear masks on flights.
The European Union.
There it has already been decided to remove the masks on flights.,
There is still no exact due date when the obligation to wear masks on flights to Israel and Israel will be removed, but the same sources estimate that this is a matter of a short time, as stated, due to the support of quite a few elements in the system.
Currently, many airlines that operate flights to and from Israel already allow passengers to remove their masks after takeoff, even though the Ministry of Health requires everyone to wear masks on flights to and from Israel.
This means that in practice, even now Israelis do not wear masks and there is no enforcement of this without quite a few flights departing from Israel and returning to it.
Stewards of those foreign companies are not interested in enforcing the obligation to wear masks, thus creating a situation in which many flights to and from Israel no longer enforce the issue of wearing masks.
Were we wrong?
