An El Al flight attendant was diagnosed as positive for Corona in a test performed in China.
The flight attendant is currently in an isolation facility in the country and will probably have to stay there until she recovers.
At the moment, the circumstances of the infection and the duration of its isolation are still unclear, and the Foreign Ministry is aware of the case and is in contact with the relevant authorities.
The duration of isolation is unclear.

It is important to emphasize that the flight attendants are not imprisoned in China, but are in a facility designed for verified Corona insulation.
Recently, there has been a slight increase in cases of infection in China and according to foreign media reports, this is a peak of almost two years.
Mal Al was quoted as saying: "An air crewwoman who landed with a cargo flight in China last Thursday was found positive to Corona and according to procedures in China was transferred for further examination and isolation at a local hospital.
"During another medical examination, it was found that the air crewwoman was a carrier of the Omicron strain, (this after she was diagnosed as negative before taking off there). El Al maintains continuous contact with the air crewwoman and Foreign Ministry and health officials. The consulate in Guangzhou accompanies her and guards "We are in daily contact and we are very grateful for that. We emphasize that no complaint has been received by either the Foreign Ministry or the Ministry of Health on the matter. We are working to bring her back to Israel and state that she is feeling well and has no symptoms."
