According to the decision, which will take effect on Monday, restaurants, cinemas, hotels, and gyms, among other places, will no longer require a green pass upon entry, reports Xinhua news agency.

A green pass, however, is needed at venues where there is a significant danger of infection, such as event halls and nightclubs.

According to the Health Ministry, the number of confirmed Covid-19 cases in Israel has risen to 3,111,307, with 46,429 new cases reported in the last 24 hours.
