Top health official won’t punish deputy for waiving billionaire’s quarantine requirement
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleChezy Levy, the new director-general of the Health Ministry, says he won’t take punitive action against his deputy for approving a billionaire’s request to be exempted from self-quarantine upon arriving in Israel, Hebrew media reports say.
Levy, who took up the post last week, tells Itamar Grotto in a letter that he accepts his apology for having let Teddy Sagi skip quarantine.
Grotto came under fire after Israeli TV revealed he granted the exception to Sagi, who reportedly attended a rooftop party in Tel Aviv that apparently violated the Health Ministry’s guidelines on large gatherings.
