The Knesset's Labor and Welfare Committee approved the understandings reached by the Minister of Finance, Avigdor Lieberman, and the chairman of the Labor and Welfare Committee, MK Efrat Reitan, who agreed to participate in financing the expenses of the self-employed during the days of isolation.
This is an addition to the layout of the isolation days for the self-employed by increasing the daily rate given for an isolation day to NIS 570, an increase of 33% to the original amount of NIS 430, which was based on the tariff set in the Wall Guard operation.
The announcement was made to the media about two hours before the opening of the debates in the Knesset Labor and Welfare Committee on the issue of an isolation days bill for the self-employed. The committee is expected to prepare the bill for a second and third reading in the Knesset in the coming days.

Another interesting detail in the announcement is that the replacement was involved by the Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Yair Lapid. Whether this is a case or a new political axis within the government, days will tell.
In any case, the decision will be approved by the Labor and Welfare Committee and its cost is estimated at NIS 50 million.

While the committee's chairman, MK Efrat Reitan, demanded that the determining date for eligibility for isolation fees for the fourth day be announced on December 16, 211, the Ministry of Finance and the National Insurance Institute oppose, because they claim the significant outbreak of Omicron virus began on December 26. Of the determining day in the law for entitlement to payment for the fourth day of isolation with far-reaching economic consequences, however the chairman insisted that the determining day be in her opinion.
