The Committee of Ministers to deal with the Coronavirus this evening approved extending by 30 days the validity of the green islands in Eilat and the Dead Sea until Saturday, January 16, 2001.

In addition, the localities of the Middle Arava Regional Council will be added to the list of localities defined as "near the area", which gives residents the right to quick inspections due to their reliance on the municipal services of the city of Eilat.

Regarding the Dead Sea, the frequency of tests that future hotel workers will have to go through has been changed so that they will be PCR tested once every 72 hours instead of every seven days.
