Israel changes its isolation policy: stay in isolation until they get a negative Corona test

Israel changes its isolation policy, half a day after the United States decided to shorten the isolation for people who were near infected people to five days In Israel vaccinated people will be required to stay in isolation until they get a negative Corona test and avoid reaching crowded places even in the next ten days.
In contrast, non-vaccinated people who came in contact with verified will be charged with seven-day isolation. So far, a vaccinated Israeli who has been exposed to the omicron strain has been required to enter 14 days of isolation, or seven days, provided he presents two negative tests. The outline softens against the background of growing criticism in the Corona Cabinet of the obligation to isolate the vaccinated, and due to the fear that within two weeks the number of isolates in Israel will stand at 800,000 to one million people.
Under the new decision, vaccinated people who have come in contact with a verified corona virus (without distinguishing between the variants) will be required to perform a corona test and stay in isolation only until the test result is obtained. For the next ten days, the same people will be prevented from being in crowded places for recreation and leisure, and from contact with high-risk populations. This decision, it was written, will apply to all Israeli citizens aged 5 and over.
People who are not vaccinated and have come in contact with verified Corona virus - also without distinction between the different strains - will be charged with seven days of isolation, and testing at the beginning of isolation and on the seventh day with negative results as a condition for termination.
A statement from the Prime Minister's Office said that the decision to update the isolation policy for those vaccinated who had been exposed to the corona virus had been made in accordance with the proposal of the Ministry of Health. According to the announcement, the definition of vaccinated will refer to people who have received the full doses of the vaccine that they can receive, depending on personal circumstances (recovery, medical condition, etc.). The decision will take effect tomorrow and will be made through an order signed by the director general of the Ministry of Health, with the approval of the Knesset Health Committee.
The decision to change the isolation policy comes after the U.S. decided that corona-infected patients would be charged with five days of isolation, compared to the previous 10-day recommendation. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) last night explained the change by increasing evidence Two days before the onset of symptoms or two or three days after symptoms have been identified, the CDC also said that those asymptomatic individuals whose isolation is shortened are still required to wear a mask even on the five days when they are no longer required to be isolated.
The coefficient of infection continues to rise and this morning it stands at 1.47, indicating a very widespread spread of the plague. From midnight to 9:00 a.m., another 778 people in Israel were diagnosed as positive for Corona, and even today the number of verified is expected to be high.
