Government said to weigh shuttering airport for non-essential travel – At least 10% of COVID infections in recent weeks are from returnees; officials urgently looking to impose restrictions on flights; 22,000 depart Ben Gurion on Sunday | Timesofisrael

Israel may close Ben Gurion Airport for leisure trips if virus cases continue to climb, according to a Sunday television report.
Some 10 percent of virus cases in recent weeks have been individuals arriving from abroad, according to Health Ministry data.
According to Channel 12 news, health officials are considering immediately requiring all returnees to self-isolate for seven days upon arrival, instead of the current 24-hour quarantine required for those arriving from countries not considered to have high rates of infection.
