Health minister threatens basketball team that broke quarantine
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleHealth Minister Yaakov Litzman is threatening legal action against the Maccabi Tel Aviv basketball team for violating home quarantine rules.
The team was ordered on Wednesday to stay at home for 14 days after the Health Ministry expanded the country’s self quarantine rules, which seek to prevent an outbreak of coronavirus, to include returnees from several Western European countries. Some members of the team had recently visited Spain.
The team bucked the warning and played a game yesterday.
“The violation of the order is a violation of the law and may result in enforcement measures against those who breached it,” warns the ministry.
