Ben Gurion Airport train station to close for arrivals from abroad

As efforts to stymie the spread of the coronavirus press on, passengers arriving from abroad will no longer be allowed to use the Ben Gurion Airport train station starting Wednesday, Israel Railways announced on Tuesday.

The new directive comes following Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Monday announcement that all arrivals from abroad must self-quarantine for 14 days from the date of arrival, regardless of their port of origin.
