Official summary of the law (Knesset)

It was determined that the validity of the Emergency Regulations (New Coronavirus) (Isolation at a State-Designated Isolation Site) would be extended by 45 days, and amendments to the text of the regulations were also approved. The regulations allow instructing a person required to isolate – whether due to returning from abroad or due to having been in close contact with a coronavirus patient – to stay in isolation at a hotel funded by the state, if they are unable to carry out the isolation at their home or at a place available to them. It was determined that the default is for a person to carry out the isolation at their home, and only if the authorized body found that this is not possible, may it instruct the person to stay in isolation at a hotel. It was also determined that a minor under the age of 17 will not stay at the hotel without the accompaniment of a parent or other guardian. Regarding minors aged 17 to 18 – it was determined that under exceptional circumstances, if the minor's family requested it and the minor agreed, it would be possible to instruct the minor to stay in isolation at the hotel unaccompanied. In addition, special provisions were established regarding persons with disabilities to ensure that the place is accessible and suitable.
