Israel stepped up efforts Monday to protect the country from the deadly novel coronavirus.
All Israeli citizens returning from abroad have been ordered to self-quarantine at home for two weeks, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a video message posted on his Twitter account.
Foreigners coming to Israel will also be required to provide the address where they will be staying in quarantine for 14 days or they will not be allowed to enter the country.
The order will come into force Thursday for foreigners.
