Parson rescheduling trade mission trip to Israel, Greece
Governor Mike Parson's office announced on Monday that his trade trip to Israel and Greece has been postponed due to travel restrictions.
Officials in several countries have banned travel from some southern African countries due to increased cases of the omicron variant of COVID-19. The variant has also been found in some European countries, Canada, and Australia.
"We are postponing our trade mission because we want to respect the travel policies and practices enacted by the host countries," said Parson in a release. "While we are disappointed that we have to postpone, delaying our trade mission is necessary and the best course of action to ensure the health and safety of our state leaders, private partners, and staff who were planning to join us. We look forward to traveling to Israel and Greece soon."
The Parson's would have been traveling from December 2 through December 11.
