The Minister of Health, Nitzan Horowitz, agreed with the director general of the ministry, Prof. Nachman Ash, and senior officials of the ministry, Dr. Elrai-Price, and Prof. Zarqa, not to extend the provision in the order directing the obligation to wear a mask on international flights.
Therefore, the obligation of masks on inbound and outbound flights from Israel will be abolished, subject to the Knesset's approval, on 23.5.22 at midnight Israel time.
As we reported in "Israel Today" last week, senior Ministry of Health officials confirmed that the issue of mask removal has come up in recent discussions, in accordance with the EU decision, which as of yesterday (Monday) removed the obligation to wear masks on flights in EU countries, joining the UK, US and other countries Places in the world.
Now, in Israel, too, the obligation that accompanies us for more than two years has been abolished.
