However, it has been reported that a group of 20 Israelis who had been vacationing in South Korea are on their way home and will be quarantined.
Even worse, it turns out that out of a group of 77 South Koreans who were visiting in Israel for eight days on a trip sponsored by the Korean Catholic Church, 7 have tested positive for the Corona virus upon their return to Korea. Now the government is making a panicked attempt to track down all the places the South Koreans visited in Israel and quarantine all the people that they came in contact with.
For example, 30 eighth graders and two of their teachers in Beersheva who met with the Korean group are now being quarantined until February 27. In addition, as a result of the Koreans visiting Masada and Caesarea, twenty employees of the Nature and Parks Authority will also be quarantined until the 27th. The employees of the David Tower Hotel in Netanya where the Koreans stayed are also under a strict watch.
Numerous other places the Koreans visited from the Garden of Gethsemane Church to the Church and the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem to the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hevron are under scrutiny as well.
In sum, authorities are warning anyone who came with two meters of the Koreans to be on guard. We could be talking about tens of thousands of people.
As of tonight, the government is requiring that anyone entering Israel from South Korea be quarantined for 14 days. All tourists arriving from Seoul are banned until further notice. The same 14 day requirement is now in place for anyone coming from Japan or Taiwan. Restrictions on entry of anyone from China have been in place for weeks.
Of course, given all of the above, the Corona cat is now out of the bag. We can expect an increasing number of Israelis infected in the coming days.
