When the new rules state that one has to be in quarantine for 24 hours--can one quarantine in a 3 br 1.5 bathroom apartment where 4 Israelis (2 adults 2 babies) live?

Would I have go to a hotel for this period rather than going straight to my child and family?

Would that mean they couldn't leave their apartment either?

TIA

When my father came he rented an AirBnB for those 24 hours, near where he wanted to do his serology test. It worked out better for everyone.

You certainly don't want to put the babies at risk, either, and no contact in a tight Israeli apartment is tough to do.

Since I am vaccinated and will obviously have had a clean PCR test within 72 hours, I really don't think I would be having COVID, but I want to know if I can technically have this time at my child's apartment, or do I have to go to a separate location?

By the rules, you should go to a separate location. As above.

You can stay with your daughter, assuming she is vaccinated, assuming you'll have your own bedroom and clean after yourself in the bathroom (actually if your grandchildren are babies and not using the bathroom just do your regular thing). You will have to keep your distance from the babies until the results are in (I.e. cannot be in the same room with them), unless they are quarantined as well until your results are in and you take the very slim chance that you might actually be COVID positive. If it's only for 24 hours, honestly I'd take this route, have the babies stay home as well until results are in. Now, if you had a household of non-vaccinated kids who go to school and can't stay home for 24 hours and maybe are high-risk I'd recommend a hotel.

Thank you chanchy.
They are both under 3, so just maon, no school for them, and this quarantine would be over Shabbos anyway. You are saying the govt would allow it, and the poster above is saying that they wouldn't. Hence my confusion.

In the past, anyone coming into the country had to quarantine in a hotel, today it is self-isolation. I'm pretty sure you just have to sign or state that you have a place to quarantine, and if you will have your own room, you do.
it's your choice how you do the quarantine, but if you are exposed to anyone who does not have a tav yarok (recently vaccinated or recovered) then they should be quarantined with you as well and they take the risk of being infected and/or extended quarantine.

Well the babies aren't vaccinated--adults are.
