Official summary of the law (Knesset)

It was determined that the National Insurance Institute will pay self-employed persons isolation allowance for workdays lost due to isolation. The amount of the isolation allowance for a self-employed person who was vaccinated, is prevented from being vaccinated, has begun vaccination, has recovered, or is supervising their child who is in isolation, will be 570 NIS per day for no more than three days. The amount for another self-employed person in isolation will be 75% of that amount. A self-employed person who is not an "independent worker" under National Insurance will receive half of the said amounts, and if they are also a salaried employee in addition to being self-employed, they will be entitled to isolation allowance only as a salaried employee. A self-employed person who is considered an "independent worker" and is also a salaried employee will be entitled to isolation allowance both as a salaried employee and as a self-employed person. A self-employed person in isolation due to returning from a trip abroad for business or occupational purposes will also be entitled to the isolation allowance payment. Eligibility for isolation allowance will apply retroactively from 1 July 2021, and applications may be submitted for a period of 180 days. As a temporary provision, for the period between 21 December 2021 and the end of January 2022, self-employed persons will be entitled to four days of isolation instead of three, and in addition, self-employed persons will be entitled to isolation allowance for days they did not work due to having contracted coronavirus. During the period of this temporary provision, a salaried employee will also be entitled to isolation allowance for one additional day, and no sick day will be deducted for it.
