I landed in Israel from Spain today, but I’m feeling good. Do I need to go into isolation? Yes. The Ministry of Health orders that you must stay quarantined for 14 days, beginning from the day of departure from the country- in this case Spain. The virus incubation period is 14 days, so it is important to complete the entire isolation period and prevent the risk of exposure and infection of others. I returned from an international professional conference in the United States. Do I need to go into isolation? Yes. The Ministry of Health has determined that every Israeli who attends an international conference, will be quarantined for 14 days, from the date of leaving the professional conference. If the professional conference is held in one of the suspected states, you must stay in isolation for 14 days from your departure from the state. I came back from England, which is not on the Ministry of Health’s list. Do I need to go into isolation? No. There is currently no directive on insulation for those returning from England. However, the names of countries for which there is a duty of isolation are updated according to the global morbidity. Therefore, the Ministry of Health will regularly update the list. I had a connection flight through Germany, and I was only at the airport for about an hour. Should I go into isolation? No. The Ministry of Health has determined that only anyone who had a connecting flight through China, Italy or South Korea is required to be quarantined for a full 14 days from the date of departure. I came back from a country that does not appear at all on the Ministry of Health’s list, and the last few days I have been feeling bad – fever / cough / cold. Do I need to go into isolation? No. If the country is not stated on the list of countries on the Ministry of Health’s website, or if you did not stay in one of the places in Israel posted on the Ministry of Health’s website, where there are Corona patients present, and if you did not come in contact with a known Corona patient, you can contact your health insurance clinic. My husband returned from abroad today and was sent to isolation, what to do with the other tenants? The person quarantined must follow the isolation guidelines.

My husband returned from abroad today and was sent to isolation, what should he do?
