The Prime Minister´s Office statement said that the quarantine decision was a precaution because Netanyahu was not close to the sick person.
According to the statement, "The initial assessment of the situation indicates that there is no need for Netanyahu to place the stone because he was not in direct contact with the person and did not meet him."

The Prime Minister´s Office has not specified how long Netanyahu will spend in quarantine.
The office confirmed that the Israeli Ministry of Health and Netanyahu´s doctor will determine the end date for the quarantine after obtaining the results of the HIV-related examination.

For its part, the Israeli Knesset announced that its members and employees were instructed to follow the orders of the Ministry of Health and enter a quarantine if they had previously communicated directly with Netanyahu´s advisor.
In his statement, the Knesset indicated that it provided records of its surveillance cameras to the Ministry of Health for review and specification of the measures to be taken.
