Israel and Greece are working on an agreement that would enable mutual travel and tourism for those who had been vaccinated against COVID-19 coronavirus.

According to available details made available Wednesday, the deal, which is yet to be finalized, will allow Israelis who have been fully vaccinated to visit Greece without having to present a recent negative COVID-19 test.

They will not be required to take another test and undergo mandatory isolation upon arrival, with the same rules set to apply to Greek visitors as well.

According to the reports, officials are hoping to have the deal ready by the moment Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis visits Israel on Monday.

The deal is said to be unlikely to come into effect upon signing due to the need for more data on the effectiveness of the vaccines.
