Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has gone into quarantine after one of his staff tested positive for coronavirus, his office said today. Netanyahu, 70, and his close aides will be 'in confinement until tests are completed' and the premier is cleared by the health ministry. The PM's office said Netanyahu is awaiting results from his latest test, after previously being found negative on March 15. Israeli media said the infected aide had been present at a parliament session last week attended by Netanyahu as well as opposition lawmakers. An Israeli official said Netanyahu has been following medical advice and holding most meetings by video-conference.
