BackgroundThis article describes the COVID19 effects on telehealth, which is becoming an integral part of medical treatment. In telehealth, healthcare personnel are required to follow the legislation which applies to more traditional medical encounters. We review the unique implementation of these legal requirements, in the novel digital setting. We further scrutinize the Ministry of Health's Director General's ordinance on telehealth, and related ethical rules. We focus on informed consent, medical confidentiality and privacy, documentation and liability. Finally, we raise the issue of artificial intelligence in telehealth and resulting future legal challenges.
