Channel 12 news reports that 20 of the worshipers who were in a synagogue with minister Gila Gamliel over Yom Kippur have contracted the coronavirus, pointing to the possibility that mask-wearing and distancing rules may not have been kept.

According to the report, 20 of the 26 positive cases in the city over the past day were traced to that synagogue.

Amid heavy criticism of her alleged behavior, breaking virus rules and then trying to cover it up, her father-in-law tells the channel that “they can say what they want, everything that was needed she told them. She [was in contact] with them. She has her own apartment.”
