Lounge Status in TLV - 2021

Does anyone know the lounge status in TLV? Will be travelling on AA in J - is there any open lounge? I have to get to the airport stupidly early to do a covid test there before travelling, so am hoping I have somewhere to pass the time. Thanks and sorry for cluttering the El Al forum, just thought it was the best place to ask.

Even if the lounge is open (I can't think of a reason why it isn't) how would you get to it without a boarding pass which you will need your covid test to get, and which will require the AA checkin desks to be open which probably won't be the case until T-3 ?
I don't know the timing of your flight, but getting the test done the day before if possible is probably a better option than to hang around TLV for 7+ hours.

I have no checked bags and usually have my boarding pass before getting to the airport. Getting the test the day before is not an option, sadly, as I prefer it to be able to span a couple trips in 72 hours. I can think of a number of reasons why the lounge would be closed, considering it was on my last trip. That was for BA, not sure if they use the same lounge in TLV or not or what's going on any more.

So, if anyone has some actual information to contribute, I would appreciate it very much.

Due to COVID - even if you OLCI and have no baggage you need to go to the check in counters. (all airlines)

Lounges

Dan Lounge Concourse C is currently open. Not sure if AA uses them or not. But they are a priority pass lounge as well.

It has been open from the beginning of June.
I was there last week, seems back to normal (minus Spa).
