44 virus cases linked to high school parties

In a mass infection, 44 high school students are diagnosed with COVID-19 after two end-of-year parties, according to Army Radio.

The first party took place in Ashkelon earlier this month, and was followed by an “after party” three days later in Ashdod by the same group, the report says.

The parties were held in violation of Health Ministry rules on gatherings.
