Israel to Allow Entry to Groups of Vaccinated Foreign Tourists The Media Line Staff 04/13/2021 Israel will allow in groups of vaccinated foreign tourists beginning next month, under a framework approved by Minister of Tourism Orit Farkash-Hacohen and Minister of Health Yuli Edelstein. A limited number of groups will enter the country starting on May 23 under strict guidelines that include undergoing a PCR test before boarding the flight to Israel, and a serological test to prove their vaccination upon arrival at Ben-Gurion Airport. Discussions are continuing with various countries to reach agreements for vaccine-certificate validation, which would cancel the need for the serological test. The agreements were reached following the work of a task force set up by the Health and Tourism ministries, including Head of Public Health Sharon Alroey-Preis, and COVID Commissioner Nachman Ash, as well as professionals from the Ministry of Tourism.
