Prime Minister Naftali Bennett is isolating separately from his daughter until he receives a negative PCR test
Israel's Prime Minister Naftali Bennett entered isolation after his daughter tested positive for Covid on Sunday, according to Israeli media.
Bennett left Sunday's cabinet meeting in the Golan Heights to isolate, separately from his daughter, until he receives a negative PCR test.
Bennett took a rapid antigen test before the meeting and tested negative, according to The Times of Israel.
Justice Minister Gideon Sa'ar convened the cabinet meeting in Bennett's absence, Haaretz reported.
Bennett's daughter, 14, was vaccinated against Covid in June, according to The Times of Israel.
The Prime Minister's Office said earlier Sunday that one of its employees tested positive for Covid and was put into isolation. According to Bennett's office, she had not been in contact with Bennett or other ministers, The Jerusalem Post reported.
