Train passenger tests positive for virus in apparent first since return of service
An Israeli who rode on a train last week has tested positive for the coronavirus, in what appears to be the first person to test positive since Israel Railways resumed service last week after a three-month hiatus.
According to the Health Ministry, the man got on a train on Monday, opening day, in the southern city of Beersheba on June 22, at 3:30 p.m. and disembarked in Sderot at 4:30 p.m.
