October 13, 2021   

The Ministry of Health announced today (Wednesday) the cancellation of the mandatory isolation for parents or caregivers with green cards who have been vaccinated with the third dose or have recovered from coronavirus - in the event that their children become ill.

This is significant news for parents of children, who were forced to go into isolation with their children and lost days of work.

The ministry emphasizes that according to the new guideline, a 'vaccinated' person is someone who has been vaccinated with three doses of vaccine or someone who has been vaccinated with two doses of vaccine and six months have not yet passed since receiving the second dose of vaccine.

'A 'recoverer' is someone who has not yet had six months since their recovery or who has recovered and received at least one dose of vaccine.

The Knesset's Constitution Committee approved this morning the regulation according to which in the open areas of restaurants, a distance of one and a half meters will be maintained from table to table and there will be no need to display a 'green badge'.
