Covid-19: Israel bans citizens from travelling to India
New Delhi - Israelis will also not be allowed to travel to Ukraine, Brazil, Ethiopia, South Africa, Mexico and Turkey.
Israel has temporarily barred its citizens from travelling to India and six other countries, citing high Covid-19 infection rates there.
A joint press release issued by the Prime Minister’s Office and the Health Ministry on Friday said that Israelis will not be allowed to travel to Ukraine, Brazil, Ethiopia, South Africa, India, Mexico and Turkey.
This regulation will come into force on May 3 and will remain in place until May 16.
Non-Israelis, however, will be able to travel to these countries, provided they plan to reside there permanently, the press release said.
The regulation will not be applicable to those who stay at airports in transit in one of these countries for a time period of up to 12 hours while waiting for a connecting flight.
The Israeli government also authorised its health and interior ministers to appoint representatives to head an appeal committee and the panel reviewing special cases.
Meanwhile, the Health Ministry proposed that those returning from the seven countries enter a two-week mandatory quarantine, even if they have been vaccinated or recovered from Covid-19, local media reports said.
Those who have received two negative Covid-19 test reports will be required to be in a 10-day quarantine, they said.
These additional restrictions are also expected to come into force on May 3, but are subject to the approval of the Knesset's (Israeli parliament) Arrangements Committee.
A record 3,689 daily Covid-19 fatalities pushed India’s death toll to 2,15,542, while the infection count reached 1,95,57,457 with 3,92,488 more people being confirmed positive for the disease, according to the Union Health Ministry data updated on Sunday.
The active cases have crossed the 33-lakh mark, the data updated at 8 am showed.
Israel has reported 838,481 Covid-19 cases so far with 6,363 deaths.
