Tracking bracelets: Israelis arriving at Ben Gurion airport are the first to trial self quarantine at home. Photo / Getty ImagesIsraeli travellers arriving from abroad will now be given an alternative to two weeks in a quarantine hotel: a tracking bracelet, and self-manged isolation from home. Authorities will be alerted if the person isolating at home removes the bracelet or leaves too far from the tracking monitor. It could save returnees the anguish of staying in an unfamiliar quarantine facility and the Israeli state a large amount of money in hotel bills. If travellers are unable to quarantine at home they will be escorted to a managed isolation hotel, as an alternative.
