Korean tourists in Israel are canceling their tours and choosing to return home.

The Israeli government has recommended 14 days of quarantine for Korean tourists, and some have not been able to find accommodation.

There are currently over 1,000 Korean tourists in Israel.

We are in a hurry to leave the country with the help of embassies but it is not easy.

Because the direct flights to Korea are blocked and suddenly you need to get a ticket.

The Israeli government is responding strongly by prohibiting foreigners from visiting Korea and Japan and issuing travel alerts to Korea and Japan.

They advised their citizens to stay in Korea and to insulate themselves for 14 days after returning.

In Iran, the number of corona19 confirmed surged to 43, with 785 suspected.

The death toll also rises to eight, with the most deaths after China.
