In an interview with the Ynet studio this morning, Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz referred to the possibility of a closure following the increase in morbidity: "Talking about a closure is hypothetical. I do not like to just scare the public. On the other hand we will not abandon the public like all other countries "We will not be tested at all," and "No Corona." He stressed that "we will not close Ben Gurion Airport, we do not want to close Ben Gurion Airport, and do not want to cause too much damage to tourism and aviation." Minister Horowitz stressed that at the next cabinet meeting the ministers will discuss updating the list of banned countries, adding: "The intention is that everyone who returns from abroad will be in isolation for a certain period. I think Israel's only airport should remain open. At the same time, flights abroad during this period are not a recommended thing. "
