Those returning from the following countries must be fully isolated for at least 10 days even if they are vaccinated: United Arab Emirates, Seychelles, Ecuador, Ethiopia, Bolivia, Guatemala, Honduras, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Namibia, Paraguay, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Kyrgyzstan and Tunisia.
Shortening the Isolation period to 7 days
The isolation period can be shortened if the results of two coronavirus tests are negative:
1. First test – As soon as possible upon entering the isolation
2. Second test – On the 7th day of isolation or later and at least 24 hours after the first test.
When the individual will receive the negative result of the second test, it is possible to finish isolation. It is not necessary anymore to wait for a text message (SMS) from the Ministry of Health allowing to complete isolation.
The full isolation period, without shortening, is still 14 days from the date of the last contact with the confirmed coronavirus case or from the time of arrival in Israel.
Shortening the Isolation period for those who Vaccinated abroad
Upon receipt of a “Negative” COVID – 19 check at the airport, the individual can perform a serological test. The serological test can be made at the isolation place or the private authorized clinic.
Upon receiving confirmation of immunity, the individual can apply for a waiver from isolation from the Ministry of Health by email, and must remain in Isolation until receipt of a waiver by email from the said Ministry.
