There are three main ways that Israelis got sick with SARS-CoV-2, the novel coronavirus, the Health Ministry reported on Tuesday: contact with another infected person (49%), exposure abroad (19%) or visiting a public place (15%).
Strikingly, Israelis brought the virus back to Israel from 67 different countries. However, most Israelis who tested positive for coronavirus after returning from abroad contracted the disease in North America or Europe, the Health Ministry said.
