Israel lifted almost all of its remaining coronavirus restrictions as of Tuesday morning, six months after the initiation of its vaccination drive which drastically reduced the infection rate in the Jewish state to almost zero.
There are now no restrictions on gatherings, and restaurants and stores no longer have to limit the number of customers or impose social distancing.
The Green Passport system has been dropped, which means that Israelis are no longer required to present proof of vaccination to enter events and halls.
Israelis are still required to wear masks indoors but it’s likely that this requirement will also be dropped in the near future, with the Health Ministry expected to reevaluate its position on the issue later this month.
Restrictions on travelers at Ben-Gurion Airport will remain in place in order to thwart the entry of vaccine-resistant coronavirus variants into Israel
Coronavirus cases are at a record low, with only four new cases confirmed on Monday, with tests showing a positivity rate of 0.0%. There are currently 350 active coronavirus cases nationwide. The death toll stands at 6,412.

Restrictions on travelers at Ben-Gurion Airport will remain in place in order to thwart the entry of vaccine-resistant coronavirus variants into Israel If this is such a concern, why were 900 foreign athletes allowed in? & why all these foreign politicians? & why Israelis even from red countries being let back in?
Serves Netanyahu right even with 30 seats to be sent packing, for his wickedness to we Frum Jews who have financially supported Israel for so many decades.
FYI: Nobody wears masks anymore. Stores, police, busses…… only old Zionists who are scared of their shadow. If the world had just watched the haredi shuls for the last 2 months….. but no, they don’t want חוטא נשכר
