Israel's health ministry on Friday confirmed its second case of coronavirus, a person it said had been in close contact with a man who tested positive after visiting Italy.
"Another coronavirus patient who was in close personal contact with the patient who returned from Italy was diagnosed with a positive result, and transferred to isolation," the health ministry said in a statement.
A week ago, two Israeli passengers who tested positive after travelling on the virus-stricken cruise ship Diamond Princess were quarantined in an Israeli hospital.
