Modi'in-Maccabim-Re'ut and head of The Federation of Local Authorities in Israel, Haim Bibas, said on Tuesday evening, “After it was discovered that Shay Hajaj was carrying the coronavirus, and after attending a meeting with him this week, I informed the municipal and local government staff that I would go into isolation and wait for an update from the Ministry of Health.”
"It is important to note that the meeting was held in accordance with the strict rules and I am currently awaiting the Ministry of Health's inquiry to decide whether or not to be in isolation. If I need to continue in isolation, I will continue to manage municipal and local affairs from my home and let the professionals do their good work. Good health to everyone,” he added.
