Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will enter self-quarantine on Monday after having come into contact with a person diagnosed with COVID-19, reported Xinhua, quoting his office.
"Following an epidemiological inquiry, the prime minister will go into isolation until Friday after meeting with a verified coronavirus patient," the prime minister's office said in a statement.
Netanyahu underwent a COVID-19 test on Sunday and Monday and was found negative, the office added.
It is the third time the 71-year-old prime minister has entered a quarantine over meetings with COVID-19 patients. In April, he had to enter isolation twice in the same week after being exposed to COVID-19 patients.
Israel has reported a resurgence of the virus outbreak, with a total of 358,293 diagnosed cases and 3,003 deaths, according to figures issued by the Israeli health ministry on Monday morning.
