Antigen for vaccinated at the expense of the state, 14-day isolation without vaccinated: the new isolation outline
According to the outline that will take effect at midnight, corona vaccines that have come in contact with verified will be able to be released from isolation with a negative antigen test, despite concerns in the FDA about their effectiveness in identifying an omicron strain.
Unvaccinated will be required for a negative PCR test at the end of a week in isolation.

The new isolation outline that will take effect tonight (Wednesday) at midnight will make it easier for vaccinated people who have come in contact with verified one of the corona strains, including Omicron.
Vaccinated people will be able to perform a rapid antigen test, which the state will fund, and if they are found to be negative for the virus, they will not be required to be isolated.
If the test turns out to be positive, they will go into isolation for ten days until recovery with a doctor's approval, and provided that in the last three days of this period, no symptoms are found that prevent recovery approval.
The use of antigen tests is contrary to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)'s announcement that antigen tests are unreliable in identifying the Omicron strain.
The Ministry of Health issued a statement emphasizing that "four antigen test kits used in Israel were tested in Corona laboratories approved by the Ministry and found to identify the Omicron strain."
