Israel said Sunday it would relaunch a pilot program granting entry to tourist groups from select countries, as the daily COVID19 caseload dipped ahead of the Jewish High Holidays.

A tourism ministry statement said the program applying to groups of 5 to 30 tourists would restart on September 19.

The program, launched in May, was halted on August 11 "due to new regulations and restrictions from the health ministry in line with the rising morbidity rates at the time," a tourism ministry spokeswoman told AFP.The ministry said that "not one corona case was identified among the groups." September 19 is a day before the beginning of Sukkot, the weeklong Feast of Tabernacles, which normally draws many Jewish tourists to Israel.Israel was in December among the first countries to launch a national vaccination campaign that brought infections down to a trickle and allowed the lifting in June of nearly all pandemic restrictions.

But less than 5,000 new cases were recorded on Saturday and serious cases have ticked down, raising hope that the latest surge was beginning to decline.
