Deputy Foreign Minister Idan Roll (Yesh Atid) has been diagnosed with coronavirus, days after he danced maskless at a crowded New Year's party.
Roll underwent a coronavirus test on Monday night, after his partner, singer Harel Skaat, was exposed to a confirmed carrier during one of his performances.
The results of the test, which arrived Tuesday, showed that Roll had been infected. Roll is now quarantining.
Roll worked in a "capsule" system to prevent largescale exposure, in accordance with Foreign Ministry guidelines, a statement said. Everyone who came in contact with him will undergo a coronavirus test on Tuesday.
Roll did not attend Yesh Atid's party meeting on Monday evening, nor did he come in contact with Knesset members this week.
