28 test positive for COVID-19 after attending illicit prom party

Twenty-eight high school graduates from the central town of Gan Yavne have contracted the coronavirus after attending a private prom party.

Another 140 students who attended the prom have entered quarantine, according to the Kan public broadcaster.

Despite a ban on official prom events as part of restrictions on gatherings, students from numerous schools have held illicit parties, including ones in Ra’anana that were at the center of a recent outbreak there.
