2 prison guards confirmed infected with coronavirus

The Israel Prisons Service says two guards have been infected with the novel coronavirus.

The diagnosis of a female guard at the Nitzan holding facility prompts authorities to close the center and place its 15 prisoners in quarantine.

The second guard works at Ofer Prison.

According to the Kan public broadcaster, neither has had recent direct contact with prisoners.
