Deputy Director-General Itamar Grotto of the Health Ministry told public radio on Tuesday that "Assuming the Israelis [aboard the "coronavirus ship" docked off the coast of Japan] do not carry the virus, they will be able to board the plane to Israel tomorrow."
Professor Grotto said: "In terms of assessing the situation, the most dangerous place on Earth to catch Corona is this ship. Therefore, we will take the step of strict conditions of isolation in the hospital and not in the home."
