For travelers from Russia can open Israel in November, and in October it is planned to accept the first groups from the Russian Federation as part of organized tours. This was announced by Israeli Tourism Minister Yoel Razvozov.
As he said in an interview with Izvestia, Israel will open the first groups of foreign tourists on September 19. So far, only vaccinated drugs recognized by US and European regulators will be admitted to the country. Russian vaccines did not fall under these parameters.
“Unfortunately, Russia is not among them yet. But we very much hope that in the near future, in October, we will open this pilot project also for tourists from Russia, “he said.
Razvozov explained that if such a mechanism works, PCR tests will work “If tourists are not at risk and do not expose them to Israeli citizens, the project will be expanded.
“Expand to include independent tourists. As I see it, the interval will be around the moon. If we open in October, then I hope that we will be able to open another in November, “said the Minister of Tourism.
According to Razvozov, tourists arriving in Israel will have to provide two negative PCR tests (one before arrival, the other after arrival) and also pass an antibody test.
