What Must You Bring

Quarantine upon Arrival in Israel

Passengers who were vaccinated or recovered abroad will need to enter quarantine upon arrival in Israel. However, they may obtain an exemption by doing a serological (antibodies) test in Israel. Results from abroad are not accepted; tests must be performed in an approved laboratory in Israel. Once you receive proof of antibodies, you must contact the Ministry of Health via this online form, and wait for a response stating that you may exit quarantine.

This document was prepared by the Chaim V’Chessed Medical and Bureaucratic Departments. Our thanks Rabbi Zvi Gluck of Amudim, Rabbi Nechemya Malinowitz of the Igud and Mr. Nicolas Kuemmerle, Station Manager of United Airlines at Ben Gurion Airport for their invaluable input.
