A lawyer specializing in Israeli immigration law from our office has prepared\u00a0<\/span>an explanation of the current legal options, in accordance with the Minister of Interior\u2019s special temporary procedures on foreign caretakers in Israel, which was published in light of the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak. <\/span><\/p>\n Our offices located in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, specialize in nursing law and have ample experience representing foreign caretakers in all types of Israeli courts. In this article, attorney Joshua Pex will explain the situation regarding the Coronavirus and Foreign Caretakers. The Coronavirus, which continues to spread around the world, has created a new healthcare reality. One of the most vulnerable populations to the COVID-19 virus are the elderly citizens. According to scientific research on the matter, the population with the highest mortality rate from the virus are the senior citizens. <\/span><\/p>\n Because of this, the Israeli Ministry of Health instructed<\/span><\/a> the senior population to reduce contact with others, as much as possible, for fear of being infected with the virus. Strict precautions are being taken in many areas to protect the elderly population, which is the group at most significant risk. In addition to government actions, the elderly population and their loved ones must also implement preventative measures. <\/span><\/p>\n Despite the guidelines for reducing contact with the senior population for fear of endangering them with infection, many of their relatives are wondering how they can protect their loved ones. For many families in Israel, those who are experienced in this type of care are the foreign workers. As we know, foreign caregivers in Israel hold a temporary work permit (B-1 work visa)<\/span><\/a>. In general, the maximum time period prescribed by law for the stay of foreign caretakers in Israel is up to 63 months. This is what the Entry into Israel Law decrees. The question arises as to what can the patients and their families do to keep their current caretakers, so as not to endanger themselves by replacing their caretakers with new caretakers who could infect them. <\/span><\/p>\n
