Two Israelis were found in Cyprus, having arrived on a ship, without quarantining upon arrival as is demanded. Cypriot police did not charge them with a fine, but they were summoned to court, instead. The Cypriot health authorities took Israel off of their list of 'secure' countries in the A rank (the highest rank of security in regard to the coronavirus pandemic) to C due to the rise of infections in the country. The lowering of Israel's rank means that Israelis coming to Cyprus must enter quarantine for two weeks, while those in ranks A and B are not obligated to do so. On Tuesday, Transportation Minister Miri Regev instructed her ministry to procure a plan which would allow Israel to renew flights with a handful of safe countries, including Cyprus. Maariv, the sister publication of The Jerusalem Post, contributed to this report.
