Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the country became the first in the world to defeat the COVID-19 coronavirus epidemic.
Said this on Fox News.
«Israel is the first country in the world to emerge from the crown. With this green passport, you can go to restaurants, theaters, sporting events. Yes it is. We are coming out of the epidemic, ”Netanyahu said.
The head of government pointed out that the entire adult population of the country will be vaccinated at the end of March and the “opening of the country” will take place in April of this year.
«Israel used to be known as a country of startups. From now on, it will also be called the vaccination nation. We are setting a model for the world, we are very proud of it, ”said the prime minister.
Since December 20, 2020, Israel has been carrying out a mass vaccination of the population against the coronavirus.
On February 9, the Tel Aviv authorities launched a campaign to vaccinate foreigners and asylum seekers for free against the coronavirus.
As of March 4, 90% of Israelis who have no contraindications to vaccination against the coronavirus have received at least one dose of the Pfizer / BioNTech vaccine or have already been ill.
