Speaking on Galei Tzahal this morning, Professor Hagai Levine, chairman of the Israeli Association of Public Health Physicians, said that people should stay home if they feel even only slightly unwell, rather than risk infecting others with coronavirus.

"If there's any doubt, then there's no doubt. What I mean is that even if someone feels only mildly unwell, he should stay home and get tested for coronavirus. We don't rule out coronavirus just because someone doesn't have the classic symptoms," he said.
