(Worthy News) – Israel announced Wednesday that it was barring all foreigners from entering the country to curb the spread of COVID-19.
As of March 12, only non-Israeli nationals who could prove an ability to self-quarantine in accordance with Health Ministry directives have been allowed into the country. Under the new ban, which took effect immediately, even those able to self-quarantine will be denied entry to Israel.
