The Knesset's Economics Committee is discussing the approval of regulations that require both recovered and vaccinated people seeking to enter the country to present a negative corona test.
Dr. Ashi Shalmon, director of the international department at the Ministry of Health, said at the hearing that it is currently not possible to rely on recovery certificates from abroad as long as the Ministry of Health system is not in sync with health ministries around the world, therefore recovered and vaccinated people from abroad will not be exempt from quarantine as long as they haven't done a serological examination.
Dr. Shalmon noted that performing serological tests at Ben Gurion Airport encountered difficulty on the part of the Airports Authority. "We hope that it will be possible to perform a serological test of the finger blood and that it will be easier to perform at Ben Gurion Airport as well."
