(Worthy News) – Israel announced Wednesday that it was barring all foreigners from entering the country to curb the spread of COVID-19.
As of March 12, only non-Israeli nationals who could prove an ability to self-quarantine in accordance with Health Ministry directives have been allowed into the country. Under the new ban, which took effect immediately, even those able to self-quarantine will be denied entry to Israel.
The Population Immigration and Border Authority, which announced the new policy, said the entry ban was recommended by the Health Ministry and will apply to all international border crossings. [ Source: Times of Israel (Read More…) ]
