Game changer for foreigners

פמי פרימיום שהחלה לבצע את בדיקות הקורונה לנוחתים קיבלה ממשרד הבריאות אישור להציע גם שירות של בדיקות סרולוגיות (דם) לנוחתים. בתשלום כמובן.
הדרישה לבדיקה סרולוגית היא לתיירים מחוסנים (אלה שמורשים להגיע). על פי ממצאי הבדיקה הסרולוגית הם משוחררים מבידוד@globesnews

Will it be instant or lab test?
Any time frame?

Why is the Ohel open to the sky? Making it actually not an Ohel.

So that Kohanim can visit?

I'm going to guess that Watterson drew in Hobbes in all of these. Nobody else could draw that pounce.

Wouldn't they pull again? might as well apply for another card.

A pull isn't a big deal these days. 5/24 is a much bigger deal.

Another garbage CJN article. But if you're in touch with the author tell him there was no 2019 kosher stand.
And April numbers for 2018 won't make sense because of Pesach. He should ask about June numbers.

Anyway, the Indians told me the week to buzz off. And they stopped directly talking to CLE Kosher years ago due to contract disputes (read $$$), which is how I got involved in the first place.
The whole thing is bush league.

Great conversation with the Indians and CK today, hope to have good news soon!

Been a while since there has been activity on this thread-anybody else realize there is a St. Regis in Bermuda now?  Has it always been there and I just didn't do proper research?

Covid is currently doing quite a number in South Africa, and the frum community is being hit hard, r"l. There are lockdown rules going into effect, though not as strict as they were at the beginning. Restaurants have to be closed by 10, but the borders are open. I'd imagine they could be closed and stricter lockdowns could be put into place at any time, so it would be very tough to plan a vacation there any time soon.

Oy vey.
South Africa is doing an impressively poor job of the vaccine rollout, even by South Africa standards. Not even 1% fully vaccinated!
That trails Angola, Equatorial Guinea, Rwanda, and Zimbabwe
