Israel cancels Covid test before boarding

Foreign nationals flying to Israel will no longer be required to take a coronavirus test before boarding, the Israeli Health Ministry said…reports Asian Lite News

Earlier this May, the Ministry on Monday allowed foreigners to choose between PCR and antigen tests before boarding, instead of mandatory PCR only. The latest decision, however, cancels any testing requirement.

The easing will take effect on Saturday, Xinhua news agency reported.

All passengers flying to Israel will still be required to fill out a health declaration up to 48 hours before boarding, the Ministry added.

In early January, Israel allowed the entry of Covid-19 vaccinated and recovered passengers, and then in early March, of all passengers, including the unvaccinated.
