Israeli Health Minister Yuli Edelstein has said that the citizens of the country will no longer be required to wear masks outdoors starting from Sunday. "The rate of infection in Israel is very low thanks to the successful vaccine campaign in Israel, and therefore it is possible to ease restrictions," Edelstein said. Israel has already vaccinated more than half of its 9.3 million population against Covid.
