TV: Technical glitch blamed for suspicions minister lied to contact tracers
A technical glitch is being blamed for suspicions that Likud Minister Gila Gamliel, who contracted the coronavirus, lied to contact tracers on her whereabouts, according to Channel 13.
According to the network, Gamliel truthfully told a Health Ministry contact tracer over the phone that she was in Tiberias over Yom Kippur, rather than her hometown of Tel Aviv. But the form autofilled her answer with her city of residence.
The ministry is investigating whether the glitch has affected previous epidemiological probes, it says.
