(Ynet News) Strict measures taken by Israeli health officials against anyone who may be at risk of contracting the coronavirus haven't passed by Israeli celebrities. The Health Ministry announced Wednesday that to contain the spread of the virus, Israelis arriving from France, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and Spain must enter a two-week quarantine. They include Eurovision winner Netta Barzilai who recently returned from Spain. Shari Arison, Israel's wealthiest businesswoman, recently returned from countries with the travel advisory and needs to self-quarantine. Israel's Maccabi Tel Aviv basketball team, that recently travelled across Europe for games, has been asked to enter self-quarantine. Blue & White MK Yoaz Hendel, who last week took part in a conference in Austria on anti-Semitism, has also entered self-quarantine at his home. According to Health Ministry directives, someone in proximity to someone who needs to be quarantined does not have to enter quarantine themselves.
