Israel will on Sunday take a major step towards normality with the rollout of a digital vaccination pass that allows citizens to visit gyms, swimming pools and hotels.
As the Jewish state continues to peel back the layers of lockdown after the world’s fastest vaccination drive, Israelis holding vaccine passes, also known as “green passports” will be allowed to visit leisure centres and enjoy holidays at hotel resorts.
