Israel will likely require all travelers — including the vaccinated and those who have recovered from COVID-19 — entering the country to self-isolate to stem the resurgence of the coronavirus, according to television reports.

The coronavirus cabinet is expected to adopt the recommendation during a Tuesday meeting, Channels 12 and 13 say. Currently, the vaccinated and recovered only need to enter quarantine if they returned from a location designated high-risk by the Health Ministry.

Health officials are divided on whether the mandatory quarantine should be seven days or four days, Channel 13 says.
