Police chief Kobi Shabtai tests positive for the coronavirus, police say in a statement.

The announcement says he is feeling well.

The statement is released shortly after the announcement that Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has also contracted the virus.

The two attended a situational assessment in Hadera last night after two Border Police officers were killed in a terror attack.

In the two officially released photos by the Government Press Office, Bennett is wearing a mask in both pictures while Shabtai is unmasked in one.
