A revised list of red countries and green countries was released by the Health Ministry on Monday, and will go into effect on Tuesday.

The list will define whether or not travelling Israelis have to enter quarantine on their return home from those places.

As of November 10, Iceland, Estonia, Greece, Canada and Cyprus will be considered red countries, and Israelis returning from those countries will be required to go into quarantine.

Israelis will not be required to go into quarantine upon their return from the following countries: Australia, Uruguay, UAE, Seychelles, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Taiwan, Japan, Norway, New Zealand, Singapore, Fiji, Finland, Cuba, South Korea, Rwanda and Thailand.

While the list will be revised again on November 17, travelers can always find the most recent updated version online at the Health Ministry's website.

Additionally, although not every returning Israeli needs to enter quarantine upon their return from green countries, they are required to fill out a health declaration before entering the airport terminal upon their entry to Israel.
