Moving towards immunity passports.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

My chavrusah was released today from bidud after returning from America after 9+ days (he arrived at 5 PM, and was released on the 10th day) with two negative tests

Are you sure you didn’t mean to comment this on Ergel’s balloon topic?

My wife teaches in a seminary in Israel (over 90% of the students contracted Covid around rosh hashannah) and was doing a Chanukah program which involved blowing up balloons. 4(!) of the 30 girls in her class could not blow up balloons due to decreased lung capacity since having Covid

Moving towards immunity passports.

They are not administering vaccines to anyone who recovered from COVID-19 at this point, so that group should also get the passport (which they actually currently have in the form of תעודת מחלים, but it has very limited utility).

Seems the Chief Rabbi is using @Dan ‘s plan for getting around quarantine in israel. He was in the NY area for a wedding on Sunday & now he’s in the UAE.

How do they decide who needs to wear a mask and who doesn't?

Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu announced:  “We closed the skies to all flights from the UK, Denmark and South Africa. These are the countries where the mutation is present. If necessary we will add more countries.”

So leaving Israel tonight and hoping to come back in a week by applying for an ishur tomorrow (can't apply before you leave) is a really bad idea, right?

Earlier today Chaim V'Chessed sent out this https://chaimvchessed.com/urgent-foreigners-banned-from-entering-israel-from-england/
Now I see on their site this https://chaimvchessed.com/urgent-israel-travel-information/
All that is just after this https://chaimvchessed.com/antibody-quarantine-exemption-to-be-reinstated/ which I suspect is either suspended completely or about to be.

So they are implementing a protocol (in a more streamlined and controlled fashion) that was logical and was known many months ago. Better late than never, though there's no reasonable excuse for the delay.

Any idea if travelers to Israel who have been vaccinated will not be required to quarantine? There is talk that Israelis who are vaccinated will get "green passports" but I have not heard that proof of vaccine will allow non-residents into Israel without a quarantine.

Highly doubtful, until there's a global standard for immunity passports.

Looks like Bibi wants that everyone returning in Israel from Wednesday will be sent into quarantine hotels
