The decision to end COVID-19 testing at the airport was made in light of the decreased spread of infection and decreased morbidity.
Starting on May 20, incoming travelers will no longer be required to undergo PCR tests upon landing at Ben-Gurion Airport, the Health Ministry said Sunday.
The decision to end COVID-19 testing at the airport was made in light of the decreased spread of infection and decreased morbidity and following discussions among Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and officials from the Health Ministry and the Airports Authority.
Nevertheless, they formulated a plan that would allow for the quick implementation of either a full or partial COVID-19 testing system at the airport should the need arise.
