A member of Defense Minister Benny Gantz’s staff tests positive for the coronavirus, requiring the minister to enter quarantine until he receives a negative test, his office says.
According to the defense minister’s office, Gantz has already performed a rapid antigen test, which came back negative, but will remain at home until he receives the results of a more accurate PCR test.
Last week, Gantz, 62, received a fourth coronavirus vaccine, and the staff member who tested positive had received three doses, his office says.
