Israel to lift UK, S. Africa travel bans, turn others orange

The coronavirus cabinet late Sunday night updated the list of countries to which Israelis are not allowed to travel without special permission.
Great Britain, South Africa, Russia, and several other countries are set to be taken off the list of nations considered at the highest risk for coronavirus infection from August 16, after the coronavirus cabinet met on the issue late Sunday night.

Israelis are not allowed to travel to such countries – also referred as ‘red’ - without special permission from a devoted government commission.
