Israel will require anyone entering the country to self-quarantine for 14 days as a precaution against the spread of coronavirus. The measure, which takes effect from Thursday, has been put in place for at least two weeks as the virus spreads around the world. The measure takes effect immediately as coronavirus continues to spreadPrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said via video link: 'Anyone who arrives in Israel from abroad will enter a 14-day isolation. But it is essential for safeguarding public health, and public health comes first.' Israeli media said that, as of Thursday, foreigners would be admitted only if they can prove they have the means to self-quarantine.
