Wearing a face mask is mandatory in indoor public areas in Israel. Starting 1.11. foreign nationals are allowed into the country, if they have not been in a country classified as red 14 days prior to arrival in Israel and if they have received WHO approved vaccinations. Admission for recovered persons is defined by strict criteria. Different vaccines have different criteria, but in general, one must have received their second or third dose at least 14 days before arrival. Air travel to Israel is subject to entry clearances. All passengers arriving in Israel must present a negative COVID-19 PCR test result taken in the departure country: the negative test and the EU Digital COVID Certificate will work as an equivalent to the Israeli Green Pass. On arrival at Ben Gurion airport, a second PCR-test is administered to those coming to Israel. As Finland is currently classified as an orange country, vaccinated and recovered persons should enter quarantine until presented with a second negative PCR test taken in Israel or until 24h have passed (whichever is earlier).
