As mentioned, last night Edelstein announced that he had decided to abolish the forced isolation of returnees from abroad. “I instructed my ministry officials to work to abolish the isolation of hotels as soon as possible for returnees from abroad, from all countries, subject to Corona inspection,” Edelstein said. “Whoever enters the country must do an immediate examination, and go out for home isolation for two weeks or ten days if he does another examination on the ninth day.”
Deputy Health Minister Knesset member Yoav Kish wrote on his Facebook page that “anyone who returns from abroad will have to be insulated. Whoever is checked at the airport will go for home insulation. And those who do not agree to be tested will go to the isolation in the motel. “He added that” those who are now in the motels, will be able to move to home isolation after performing a corona test. “
