Shalom. I am flying SEA-ORD-HEL March 2nd (28 hour layover) then HEL-TLV March 4th. Since the rules are changing March 1st, I am unsure what tests I need. I am a U.S. passport holder, and fully vaccinated since July 2021. If I get a PCR test the day before I leave to Israel in Seattle (Mar 1) it will be past the 72 hour mark by the time I arrive in TLV.

I don’t think I can get a PCR test in HEL as I arrive 2:15pm March 3rd, and depart 7:30pm March 4th the next day. Do I need to get an antigen test in Helsinki to be able to enter Israel? Does Israel accept antigen tests? Otherwise I am not sure how I can make this work if at all?
