Of course, but what alternative do I have?

IgG tested the kids already?

Same way notes in a PNR can hurt you. Makes HUCA more unlikely to work.

Indeed that's what I came here to post..

 I see some sites disabled that feature to keep the forum clutter free. Though some times it's good to know why the user didn't like your post! As he was using TapaTalk!

Here's an example of a site that disabled it.

Hi Dan,
It looks like a Cache issue on the Android App.
Please advise users to re-launch their App once or twice to get rid of the signature.
The developers will include a fix in the next App update to prevent this from happening again.

Update:
I was standby with about another 50 ppl from the cancelled flights
I was number 4 in line
3 got on, and then they closed up.
I had to book thru a travel agent (joy travel) who managed to find me a seat on the elal flight leaving soon after , full fare, but less than i thought 8 would pay.
I must say he did go out of his way to gelp me.
Thanx @joeb1
Im on the plane hoping to take off soon

Weird, seat map looks like there are quite a few empties.

As @Dan would say, It's not just a medical clinic, it's Israel... 

FTFY. And it's not my line, it's LY's English slogan (which is nearly as bad as their hebrew slogan)

which means the'll have to wait at least a week till they can get a ticket ?

Yes, though there are always cancellations, so check frequently for that.
Can always ask to be rebooked on another airline, but they're unlikely to go for that.

so if there is no ticket for the same price, then better to get them to rebook ?

Sure, but unlikely they'll rebook on non-UA.

Dov Lipman is not at all reliable on these matters, despite his authoritative tone. He often misunderstands explicit rules & procedures.

Humanitarian is YMMV

Yup, I've called him out on being wrong in the past. Usually he just deletes it.

Either.

To leave the country? The CDC says specifically three days not 72 hours. Instead of leaving Monday morning he's now leaving Monday night. Took his PCR on Friday.

Does Elal accept PCR done more than 72 hours, but still three days?

Israel requires 72 hours.
