Except for 10 countries: Isolation obligation approved for returnees from all over the world Israel today

In order to prevent the entry of variants:

The Knesset's Labor, Welfare and Health Committee today (Monday) approved that returnees from all countries of the world, except 10 countries, will be required to be fully isolated, including vaccinated and recovering.

The decision was made after a hearing that lasted almost two hours.

During the discussion, the possibility of shortening the isolation for the vaccinated and recovering to about three days was mentioned several times over the next few weeks.

Dr. Ilana Gens, head of the public health staff at the Ministry of Health, claimed at the hearing that the issue was under investigation.

Tal Fox, an attorney who represented the Ministry of Health, clarified at the hearing: "If a person travels to a red country, stays there for three days and moves to a country whose return does not require isolation, his isolation in Israel will be shortened to three days.

Every day in a green country shortens the isolation back to Israel. "

Tali Laufer, CEO of the Travel Agents Association, pointed to the dire situation in which the tourism industry finds itself:

Closing a sky that strikes a blow on the travel industry.

"The chairman of the committee noted in the discussion that it is appropriate that all branches of the economy should go under the stretcher.

For us these regulations are not to go under a stretcher, it is to go into a coffin.

"I believe that as long as the state pursues such a strict policy of preventing aid and support from an industry that it is in fact collapsing its guidelines, then it should consider ten thousand times as much caution as to take such drastic measures that infringe on citizens' freedom of movement and freedom of movement."
