Israel announces the result of Corona Netanyahu's examination
A statement issued by the Israeli Prime Minister's Office revealed on Thursday evening the health condition of Benjamin Netanyahu after conducting a corona examination.
The statement said: "Prime Minister Netanyahu underwent another corona examination today and it was found that he was not infected with the virus."
Earlier, the Corona Netanyahu virus and other ministers were forced into quarantine, after the Ministry of Health announced that Minister Yaakov Litzman was infected with the virus, on Thursday.
In a statement, the Ministry of Health said that Jacob Litzman and his wife, who are also infected with the virus, were isolated and were in good condition and receiving treatment.
She added that she would send requests to undergo isolation to those who have been in touch with the minister for the past two weeks, including Netanyahu and other ministers and the head of the Mossad intelligence service, Yossi Cohen.
Litzman had contacted Netanyahu several times recently.
The Haaretz newspaper reported that the authorities asked Cohen and the head of the National Security Council to isolate themselves after they met Litzman.
Netanyahu underwent self-isolation after his counselor was found to be infected with the virus, while Israel was close to imposing a full closure to try to contain the outbreak of the virus.
And the government announced more than 6 thousand confirmed cases of corona virus, and 31 deaths, with the spread of the virus in the large isolated Orthodox community in Israel to which Litzman belongs.
In the early stages of the outbreak, some rabbis ignored government movement restrictions, but this resistance appears to have diminished.
Netanyahu ordered the police, on Wednesday, to cordon off the heavily militant city of Bnei Brak, east of Tel Aviv, to limit movement to and from it, as it contains the second largest number of HIV-positive cases in Israel .
