Worker at President Rivlin's official residence tests positive for coronavirus

A worker at the President Reuven Rivlin’s official residence in Jerusalem has tested positive for the coronavirus.

“Consultations are taking place now with the relevant officials in the Health Ministry concerning additional workers who will be be required to be in quarantine and the relevant implications for the president of the state,” a statement from Rivlin’s office says.

Earlier, Prime Minister Netanyahu’s office said three security guards at the premier’s official residence tested positive for the virus. It said the premier himself tested negative several days ago and doesn’t need to enter quarantine, since he was not in contact with the guards who tested positive.
