| March 30, 2020

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his staff will temporarily isolate themselves until the end of an epidemiological study that is expected to reveal that he was not exposed to the coronavirus, his office said.But Netanyahu's office continued to deny reports on Monday that a decision had been made to quarantine him for a week after his parliamentary adviser, Rivka Paluch, was diagnosed with the virus.His office said that Health Ministry professionals were conducting a thorough study to determine what needs to be done next.The first indications of the study indicate that there is no need for Netanyahu to enter quarantine, because he did not meet with Paluch and did not come into close contact with her. They were not in the same room over the past two weeks.Netanyahu, in co-ordination with his personal doctor, has been maintaining health restrictions strictly and is conducting most of his work from his home and most of his consultations by video.Netanyahu intends to be tested for the virus again on Monday after taking it multiple times before.Channel 12 reported on Monday morning that the prime minister will enter isolation for a week after Paluch tested positive for the disease.Paluch told The Jerusalem Post on Sunday night that reports Netanyahu would have to be quarantined were incorrect.Paluch said that while she did go to the Knesset on Thursday to prepare the prime minister for the vote for Knesset speaker, she did not have any real contact with Netanyahu.If Netanyahu tested positive, he and his entire staff would have to be quarantined, as would Blue and White leaders Benny Gantz and Gabi Ashkenazi, who spent eight hours with him overnight on Saturday night negotiating entering his government.But Paluch said it was very unlikely that she had passed the virus on to her boss. Paluch's husband tested positive for the coronavirus before she did.
