<div>One really doesn't have to guess. There is enough Rabbinic literature that permits entry and enough scientific indications that would useful. I think that the major question is either ideological or physchological - are there Rabbis willing to paskin in the matter.

<div>Well, at present, people to go up to the "wrong" areas and they don't go to the Mikveh. Which is better: having the Chief Rabbinate issue a new psak defining to the best of their ability which areas cannot be entered and under what conditions or allow people to enter areas they can't and turn a blind eye?
