Interior Minister Arieh Deri said on Sunday Israel will continue to use far-reaching countermeasures to prevent the coronavirus from spreading.
"We are not taking risks when it comes to human life. There's no reason to panic, but this is a small world and the virus is spreading fast," said Deri. We retrieved 35 travelers yesterday and we will continue this way, despite the unpleasantness. All border crossings have recieved the same instructions."
