COVID-19: After UAE, Israel signs on green travel corridor with Bahrain
October 25, 2021
Israel and Bahrain signed an agreement for mutual recognition of their corona vaccination certificates and green passes, Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz announced on Monday.
“After signing with the UAE, we have also opened a green corridor to Bahrain,” Horowitz tweeted. “With my colleague the Bahraini Health Minister I have now signed an agreement on mutual recognition of vaccine certificates and green passes. Towards the opening of tourism, we continue to build more and more bridges of health between Israel and the world.”
The new agreement came a day after a similar deal was also reached with the UAE and ahead of the general reopening of the country’s borders, set to occur on November 1.
According to the plan presented by Prime Minister Naftali Bennett on Thursday, for visitors to be considered protected from the virus in order to be eligible to enter, they will need to present proof of the same criteria set for Israelis.
These include recovered or inoculated with two doses in the previous six months, recovered with an additional shot, or vaccinated twice with a booster. The recognition of health documents will help to facilitate the process.
