by

The struggle in Corona: The Population Authority announced today (Sunday) to the airlines that it is forbidden to bring foreigners on flights arriving in Israel from the UK, including connecting flights, except for diplomats, due to a new mutation in the corona virus that was discovered in the country. A decision on the issue is likely to be made today during the Corona Cabinet meeting that will convene this afternoon.

Following a discussion held tonight at the Ministry of Health, in the presence of Prime Minister Netanyahu, it was decided to recommend to the Cabinet the implementation of a number of actions regarding the new corona mutation in the UK and to issue regulations for 96 hours. Among the required operations, samples must be taken at Ben Gurion Airport for returnees from the United Kingdom and passengers from certain countries must be placed in isolation in hotels. .

The list of countries that are expected to be included in the new restrictions due to a mutation in the corona virus are: Britain, South Africa, Denmark and possibly Brazil and Australia, which are subject to a decision by the Ministry of Health. After the approval of the Cabinet, all airlines will be notified of the freezing of entry permits for foreigners to Israel these days. Every Israeli returning from these countries will enter isolation on behalf of the state in hotels.

In the shadow of the fear that the new mutation may make corona vaccines less effective, a senior health ministry official estimated in an interview with Israel Today that the new mutation “should not affect the effectiveness of the vaccine, although it may slightly impair its effectiveness.”

As is well known, the new restrictions that are likely to be imposed on returnees from the UK are due to the discovery of a new strain of the corona virus, which is likely to be more contagious than previous strains. Also in the south-east of England, including London, new restrictions have been imposed due to the widespread morbidity that is estimated to result from the new mutation in the virus.
