Netanyahu enters quarantine until Friday after contact with virus carrier

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will enter quarantine until Friday after meeting a person who was later confirmed to be a carrier of coronavirus, his office says.

Netanyahu underwent virus tests yesterday and today and came out negative for the virus, it adds.
