IDF chief in quarantine, again, after exposure to COVID

IDF Chief of Staff Aviv Kohavi will enter quarantine due to exposure to a COVID-19 carrier, the military says.

Kohavi “spent time near a citizen who was verified as sick today,” according to an Israel Defense Forces statement.

The military says Kohavi feels well, has no symptoms and will soon be tested, adding that he will maintain a regular schedule “as much as possible” while in quarantine.

Kohavi has previously quarantined after exposure to coronavirus carriers.
