Israeli tourists will have the opportunity to fly to some areas of Greece, Bulgaria and Croatia starting Sunday, according to a company statement by El Al sent to the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, quoted by i24 News.
Since these destinations are located in green states, Israelis would not have to enter a two-week quarantine upon their return to Israel.
El Al announced on Tuesday that it will extend the temporary suspension of the bulk of the company's flights until September 30, in addition to extending the duration of its employees' furlough - leaving some 6,080 employees on unpaid leave amid the coronavirus.
Earlier this month, the government approved a list of 20 states from which Israelis can return without quarantine. However, due to Israel's high-level of infection, most countries will not allow Israelis to enter.
