The enforcement of the Green Pass, part of the Israeli government's plan to fight Coronavirus, started on Sunday after more than two weeks of delay, reports Xinhua

Under the new guidelines, a person will have to receive a third dose of the Coronavirus vaccine in order to be considered fully vaccinated and be eligible to receive the Green Pass. People who have recently recuperated are also eligible.

The Green Pass is a barcode valid for six months that enables entry to various venues, including restaurants, cafes, bars, cultural and sporting events, cinemas, weddings, gyms, conferences and hotels.
