Transportation Minister enters quarantine after coming in contact with carrier

Bezalel Smotrich’s office says the transportation minister has quarantined himself at his home in the Kedumim settlement after coming in contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19 earlier this evening.

Smotrich met with the individual last Tuesday.

A statement from the minister says he will continue serving the public from home and that he calls on all Israelis to adhere to the Health Ministry guidelines aimed at curbing the coronavirus outbreak.
