Who Must Go into Isolation
As of May 23, 2022 - These are the cases where you need to go into isolation:
- Confirmed COVID cases, namely, those who tested positive to COVID.
- Those who receive an individual guidance to go into isolation by a district physician, by the Head of Public Health Services or by the Ministry of Health's Director General.
Disputing an isolation order
If you were ordered to isolate and in your opinion this order is unjustified, you may dispute the isolate order through the Ministry of Health's hotline at *5400. You are required to stay in isolation until receiving an your response.
Onset of symptoms during isolation
If, during isolation, symptoms consistent with COVID-19 appear, or if existing symptoms worsen, you may seek help from your primary care physician over the phone or contact the hotline of your insuring HMO.
Do not arrive in the HMO clinic or the emergency room unless this is an urgent medical emergency. Then, you must be evacuated to the emergency room by a Magen David Adom ambulance. During the dispatch call, you are required to disclose that the person who requires evacuation is a person currently in isolation or a confirmed COVID-19 case.
