Against the background of the increase in morbidity in the “Omicron” strain in Israel, the government today (Sunday) approved the outline of exits and entrances to Israel and the green classroom for schools.
According to the Green Classroom Outline: The model will not apply to a classroom where two verified students have been verified, this scenario constitutes about 5% of the reported cases. If there is one student verified, the students will perform a PCR test on the third day as well.
The model will not apply in a case where a student has been verified in class with a suspicion of infection with the omicron strain. In situations where the green classroom model is not activated, vaccinated students will be able to learn frontally, and non-vaccinated students will learn by distance learning.
The government also approved the extension of the current restrictions at Ben Gurion Airport, for an additional 10 days.

Israelis who are defined as vaccinated or recovering according to the procedures of the Ministry of Health will perform a PCR test upon landing in Israel, after which they will enter home isolation. Subject to a second PCR test on the third day with a negative result, they will be able to be released from isolation. Those who do not perform the additional test on the third day will be required to complete full isolation.

Subject to a second PCR test on the seventh day with a negative result, they will be able to be released from isolation.
