UK travellers to Israel will be required to self-isolate for 14 days under new rules set to go into effect on Friday.

The UK, which has seen a surge in cases and new local lockdowns, has been among 31 “green locations” exempted from a mandatory quarantine. 

But its status will change to red later this week, joining some 185 countries - such as France, the United States and Brazil - facing the requirement.

Israel began easing its second lockdown on Sunday, which was introduced last month amid a spike in cases.
