Israel’s Ministry of Health has joined several countries around the world in warning its citizens against “unnecessary” travel to China in light of the coronavirus outbreak.
The ministry warned Israelis to avoid the Hubei region, the epicenter of the virus, altogether.
A number of patients have been checked for the virus in Israel and the West Bank after suffering symptoms of respiratory disease, such as fever and coughing.
As of Monday morning all cases — apart from one — had tested negative for the virus. The results of that case are still pending.
