Health Ministry no. 2 Itamar Grotto allowed local businessman and billionaire Teddy Sagi to skip quarantine and attend a large party in Tel Aviv.
Sagi attempted to be spared the required two-week quarantine upon his return from Cyprus, by first appealing to the DG of the ministry Moshe Bar-Siman-Tov who refused, before approaching Grotto.
The Health Ministry said Grotto's decision was a grave mistake and that they are investigating the incident.
