Israel to tighten Covid-19 Green Pass restrictions

Under the new guidelines, people who have got the third vaccine booster or recently recovered from Covid-19 are able to receive the Green Pass, a barcode valid for six months that enables entry to various venues, Xinhua news agency reported.

Israel promotes the Green Pass to encourage people to receive the third dose of Covid-19 vaccine.

The government has based its strategy to tackle the current wave on large-scale vaccination rollout.

So far, some 37 per cent of Israel's 9.3 million people have received the third dose, according to figures released by the health ministry.
