A day after Israel announced a COVID-19 Green Pass would be required to visit shopping centers, the Ministry of Health backed down on some of the contentious requirements originally set out.

Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz decided on Tuesday that the new regulations would be put in place after 22 new cases of Omicron were identified in Israel, bringing the total number of cases of the new variant in the country to 89, The Times of Israel reports.
