✈ KTA Client Alert July 22, 2021 | Changes in COVID-19 Isolation Regulations in Israel

For your information, below is an extract from the Israeli Government website regarding Mandatory Isolation

Who must enter isolation?

Travelers (of all ages, from all countries) who have not been vaccinated against COVID-19 or recovered from COVID-19 in Israel.
Those traveling from allocation with the highest COVID-19 risk, or a location with COVID-19 travel warning must enter isolation, even if they have been vaccinated or have recovered in Israel.
Travelers arriving from allocations, even if vaccinated or recovered in Israel, must enter isolation until they receive the result of the COVID-19 test taken on arrival in Israel or isolate for 24 hours (whichever is earlier).

Who can be exempt from mandatory isolation?

Those who have been vaccinated or have recovered in Israel, if they do not travel from a location with the highest COVID-19 risk or a location with COVID-19 travel warning.
Those who have been vaccinated against COVID-19 or recovered from COVID-19 outside of Israel, but only if they take a serologic test when they arrive in Israel and the test result is positive

What is the duration of isolation?

You are required to stay in isolation for a minimum of 14 days. There is an option to shorten the isolation period, if two PCR test results are negative: the first test, which is mandatory for all travelers, must be taken when you arrive in Israel; the second test is taken on the seventh day of isolation. You can leave isolation if the second test is negative.
Vaccinated and recovered individuals who visited uncategorized locations or locations with a COVID-19 travel notice (and not locations with a COVID-19 travel warning or locations with the highest COVID-19 risk) within the last 14 days before arrival in Israel will be required to enter isolation until they receive COVID-19 negative test results to a test that they must take on arrival in Israel, or isolate for 24 hours (whichever is earlier)
