Measures against COVID-19 taken by the Government of Israel

The Government of Israel has implemented enhanced screening and quarantine measures for travelers arriving to Israel to reduce the spread of COVID-19. Effective Thursday, March 12, 2020, at 20:00 (Israel time), foreign travelers, from all other countries aside from those listed below will be required to remain in home quarantine until 14 days have passed since the date of entry; non-Israeli residents will be required to prove they have the means to self-quarantine to be admitted into Israel. This restriction is immediate for Israeli citizens and residents. Hotels may refuse to honor reservations for individuals in quarantine. Transportation options from the airport to any location may be limited. Restrictions are continually being updated by the Government of Israel.
