As Israel keeps making strides towards fully reopening its economy, on Tuesday it started operating a rapid COVID-19 antigen testing service at Ben Gurion Airport for travelers who wish to go abroad.
The project was initially launched by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Transportation Minister Miri Regev last November, but recurring coronavirus lockdowns, including the shuttering of the airport, postponed its opening.
