Following the updated guidelines issued by the Ministry of Health yesterday (Wednesday), including Israelis returning from Spain should stay in isolation for up to two weeks after leaving the country, Maccabi Tel Aviv players and team members were obliged to enter the isolation last night and not go to parquet in the home game against Andulo Zero in the Euro League.

The Yellows played against Valencia on February 21 and left Spain a day later. This means that all players and people staying with the team in the game should be in isolation by this Saturday but contrary to instructions, the Yellows have been playing.

Now, a day later, the Ministry of Health and Minister Litzman could take enforcement action against the state champion for breach of the order: "The Maccabi basketball team has not been exceeded by the scope of the order and if its players in the returning country are required to be in isolation then they are also required to stay in isolation. Violation of the order is a violation of the law and may result in enforcement measures being taken against the violators of the order. "

At this time, the team players and club members are at Ben Gurion Airport for the flight to the game against Red Star Belgrade, which is scheduled for tomorrow in Serbia. Apparently, a bus will direct the players directly to the leased plane for the team only. Maccabi says they are awaiting approval by the Ministry of Health before taking off.
