A second Israeli from among the group of 11 who returned home Friday from the Diamond Princess cruise ship in Japan has become ill with the COVID-19 coronavirus.
All of the Israelis who returned from Japan were brought to Sheba Medical Center in Tel Aviv for a 14-day mandatory quarantine; this passenger tested positive for the virus over the weekend, the hospital reported, adding that the patient did not catch the virus in Israel, having been under a strict quarantine since returning from Japan.
