DAILY DOSE | Story (related): Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Monday that all travelers entering Israel will be required to enter into a 14-day quarantine amid concerns over the novel coronavirus.

"After a day of complex discussions, we have made a decision," Netanyahu said following round-the-clock deliberations on Israel's response to the crisis. "Everyone who comes to Israel from abroad will enter 14 days of isolation."
Netanyahu added that the move was essential to public safety, and will be upheld for at least two weeks. 


"At the same time, [the government] are making decision to maintain the Israeli economy," he added.
The decision comes as Israel announced its 42nd confirmed case of coronavirus in the country after three Israelis returned from vacation abroad in western Europe. 


Netanyahu is said to have initially resisted enacting such measures before Monday, especially after the Health Ministry pushed to place the US on a list of banned nations from entering Israel, fearful of straining economic and political ties with the White House.
US President Donald Trump has sought to temper fears over the spread of the coronavirus, mindful that a panic could have a drastic impact on the US economy, which has seen a downturn since the epidemic first made headlines in February.
