Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has announced that the administration’s approval of the fourth dose of vaccine against coronavirus to the population over 60 years of age and health personnel.
“We have learned from the world that if you have the complete vaccination schedule, you are much more protected from a serious disease, even if you also end up catching it,” Bennett said at a press conference, according to the Israeli newspaper. Yedioth Aharonoth.
In addition, Bennett has announced that vaccinated people 5 years and older who test negative for the virus they will not have to quarantine by contact. Those who are not vaccinated will have to remain in quarantine for seven days even if they test negative.
The Israeli president has also warned that infections could reach a peak of more than 50,000 cases daily in the current wave.
Regarding the travel restriction, Bennett has suggested that they could be lifted soon. “I canceled the flights five weeks ago, when everything was fine, and in the next few weeks they are likely to be resumed,” he explained. The reason is that when there are thousands of cases already in Israel, adding 50 more infections from foreign travelers is “irrelevant”.
