All returnees from abroad must observe 14 days of strict quarantine. As we have previously reported, there are many rumors, and much misinformation regarding exemptions from quarantine.
The only way to exit quarantine early is by receiving an official, written exemption from the Ministry of Health. There has been considerable confusion about how this process works. The Chaim V’Chessed Medical Department, headed by Mrs. Nechama Nulman and Mrs. Shani Warsager, has held extensive discussions with senior Health Ministry staff on this matter, and we are now pleased to provide detailed instructions for this process.
Wxemptions are only possible for those who have previously tested
positive for Corona, with a PCR test, then tested negative
abroad with a PCR test, and finally, have tested negative again, in Israel.
Having antibodies is irrelevant.
If you have the above three test results, you must obtain a letter from a
doctor in Israel, in which the doctor recommends that you be
exempted from quarantine.
Once you have all the above, download and fill out this document. Fill out a separate form for each family member.
Then email the document, along with all of your test results and the doctors
recommendation to bidud@moh.gov.il.
You should receive a response within 48 hours. Until you receive
a written exemption from the Health Ministry, you must remain in quarantine.
