It was also reported that patients Nos. 46, 47, 48 are residents of the center area and are close contacts of a verified patient also from the center area.

In the meantime, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a series of discussions this evening on his leadership on the Corona virus, at the Prime Minister's Office in Jerusalem. Discussions were discussed that enter Israel from abroad, economic preparation, and a scientific-technological discussion on the Corona virus with expert participation. Under the pressure of Interior Minister Deri, it was decided that the new isolation provisions would only take effect in 72 hours.

At the end of the discussions, Netanyahu announced the dramatic decision: "After a day of complex discussions, we made a decision: Everyone who comes to Israel from abroad will enter the 14-day isolation. This is a tough decision, but it is essential to maintain public health - and public health precedes everything. This decision will be valid for two weeks, at the same time we are making decisions to maintain the Israeli economy. "

The Deri bureau said in light of the uncertainty surrounding when the prisoners would be forced to enter the isolation: "The isolation for Israelis is immediate. Foreigners who enter the isolation will begin within 72 hours. The foreigners will have to prove that they have the ability to enter the isolation."

In the meantime, in a very painful move, two smaller airlines in Israel, Arkia and Ishraire, decided that in the coming days they would disable all their international operations. At this time, an emergency hearing is being held at El Al and she is also expected to cease her activity except for specific lines that will continue with the activity after examining things.

This is an exceptional, extreme and unprecedented step - the State of Israel is isolated. All other international airlines are expected to stop flying to Israel in the coming days and if there is no significant change in the coming days, we are expected to enter a period when the sky in Israel is completely closed.

Ben Gurion Airport will be empty, thousands of workers will be taken on vacations or be fired, at airlines, airports, contractors operating at the airport and many other factors in the tourism industry that will have to deal with the most difficult period in the history of the State of Israel.

The Israel Nature and Parks Authority said: "The Hotel Association said that the Prime Minister's decision today is essentially the elimination of tourism to Israel and seriously injures the hotels and airlines. We want to believe that the government that decided to eliminate our business will compensate the hotels immediately."
