Tel Aviv: In a bid to prevent the spread of the Omicron Covid-19 variety, the Israeli Health Ministry has decided to ban travel to seven more nations.

The embargo will go into force on December 20 and will affect the United Arab Emirates, Ireland, Norway, Spain, Finland, France, and Sweden, which will be labelled as "red" countries, according to the report.  The majority of African countries are already on the "red" list.

All Israelis returning from the forbidden nations, including those who have been vaccinated and recovered, must spend at least seven days in quarantine.  Foreign nationals from certain countries are not permitted to travel to Israel, save in humanitarian instances approved by a special governmental committee.
