chuka_lisВ свзяи с ростом очередной ковидной волны в Израиле, несмотря на привитость большинства взрослого населения, поддерживаются и даже ужесточаются противоэпидемические меры.
Страна нацелена на борьбу с вирусом.
Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said on Sunday that technological means would be used to check on the location of those in quarantine,
The system would allow police to track the locations of those who are quarantining by sending a text message with a link to their phones. When the individual in isolation clicks on the link, their physical location is immediately shared with law enforcement.
The statement announced that the officials present at the meeting, which included Israel Police chief Kobi Shabtai and Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz, agreed that criminal indictments would be filed against those found to knowingly violate quarantine regulations.
Furthermore, mass events and celebrations — with a particular emphasis on weddings — will be a top priority for enforcement. The statement noted the potential for widespread infections as a result of those gatherings.
Israel is expected to see a major increase in enforcement this week, as local municipality inspectors work alongside police to fine people found without face coverings in indoor locations.
“Our goal is to establish sensible guidelines, along with aggressive and effective enforcement against those who violate them,” Bennett said in Sunday’s statement. “Anyone who violates the restrictions endangers their health and that of the rest of Israel’s citizens.”“The implementation of the restrictions is a critical component in the management of the epidemic in order to defeat the [Delta] variant,” Bennett said.
Army Radio reported on Sunday that health officials were unhappy with the “Revelry Pass” system, slated to come into effect on July 21, under which rapid tests are to be deployed at the entrance to large indoor events such as weddings, where the unvaccinated will need to show a negative test result in order to gain entry.
Meanwhile, the Health Ministry announced Sunday that entrance to summer camps would be dependent on participants showing a certificate of vaccination or recovery, or a negative coronavirus test from the previous 72 hours. The restriction applied to summer camps providing accommodation in tents as well as in buildings.
Since Friday, all travelers, including those who are vaccinated or have recovered from COVID-19, have been required to self-isolate for 24 hours upon arrival to Israel, or for a shorter period if they receive a negative test result.Those returning from 15 countries deemed to have high infection rates are required to quarantine for seven days with a negative test result, according to the ministry’s updated guidelines. The full quarantine period was recently shortened from the previous 10-14 days.The countries considered to have high infection rates were the United Arab Emirates, Seychelles, Ecuador, Ethiopia, Bolivia, Guatemala, Honduras, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Namibia, Paraguay, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica and Tunisia.
Starting next Friday, July 23, the following countries will be added to the list: the United Kingdom, Cyprus, Turkey, Georgia, Uganda, Myanmar, Fiji, Panama, Cambodia, Kenya and Liberia.
The Health Ministry said on Friday that from July 23, Spain and Kyrgyzstan will be added to the list of countries that Israelis are barred from flying to due to extreme rates of infection — provided that a government committee approves the ministry’s request.
The countries that are currently off-limits for Israelis are Uzbekistan, Argentina, Belarus, Brazil, South Africa, India, Mexico and Russia. Israelis who enter the country after visiting any of those countries can face a NIS 5,000 ($1,500) fine.
