To protect the health and safety of passengers and aircrew, and further control the risk of transnational spread of COVID-19, the Chinese Embassy in Israel recommend travelers avoid all non-essential and non-urgent travels.
Starting from February 21st, 2021, passengers who have urgent need of travel please follow the guidelines and requirements listed below:

4.Reminder

Please minimize public contact after testing.
(2)The Chinese Embassy in Israel WILL NOT issue HS/HDC Codes to passengers who do not meet the requirements as mentioned above.
