Health Min Director: Anyone at AIPAC conf. - should be quarantined

Ministry of Health Director General Moshe Bar-Siman-Tov clarified in a conversation with Keren Neubach on Kan that "anyone who returned from any conference abroad from since March 3 should be in isolation, including those who were at the AIPAC conference."

He said diplomatic complexity vis-à-vis the US was ruled out in a discussion with the PM. That's not the consideration - but rather the volume of traffic from Israel to the US that stands at thousands of people a day, he said.

“In practice, we need to seriously consider whether to tell anybody who was abroad to go into isolation. That means cutting Israel off from the world, it's a formative decision in its effects. You have to see that the medicine supply chain for Israel can be preserved. "
