New confusion around home tests
The Israeli Ministry of Health has again changed the instructions for conducting a home antigen test. The change is caused by the relatively low sensitivity of the test.
Israelis are advised to do an antigen test 72 hours after contact with an infected person.
Now people have to wait three days before doing an antigen test – and all this time they don't have to be in isolation.
