To coincide with the pilot program of the first groups of vaccinated tourists being allowed to visit Israel, the Israeli health ministry has announced that from Tuesday all remaining covid restrictions will be lifted.
This is as a result of its successful vaccination program.
Israel’s current number of daily cases (based on a weekly average) has dropped from 8,600 at the peak of the health crisis to just 27 this week, with 510 active infections.
From 1st June, proof of vaccination will no longer be required to enter various venues, and capacity limits at stores, restaurants, and other sites will be lifted.
There will also be no further limits on gatherings, whether they are indoors or outdoors.
Masks indoors will remain in place for the next two weeks.
