According to Globes, Israel's business news, and News 13, the Israel Airports Authority has notified airlines that the ban on non-Israelis entering Israel has been extended (for the second time) to July 1st, while Israelis returning from abroad must continue toself-isolate for two weeks.
Despite this notification, some hesitancy was noted in other official's statements in the new wake of the corona-virus outbreak in Israel, which may lead to aמ additional postponement of this new target date of July 1st.
As such, the Israeli Population and Immigration Authority director-general Prof. Shlomo Mor-Yosef, himself a doctor - an oncologist and gynecologist, stated to be very circumspect about when the country's skies are likely to reopen: "It's easier to close borders than to open them" he said, adding that the authorities are now checking out what is happening in different countries and defining 'green countries' according to the data and the quality of the data or in other words the credibility of reporting.
In concluding his statement,Prof. Mor Yosef mentioned that “There is major hesitancy about bringing in people that bring with them a risk of coronavirus when it is clear that corona virus came here from abroad".
