The requirement to quarantine in designated hotels, upon returning from abroad, was also cancelled and will be replaced by home quarantine with increased enforcement by the Israel Police.

Meanwhile, the restriction on gatherings in open spaces will be eased to 50 people at most, instead of 20.

Twenty people will be allowed to gather indoors instead of 10.
