One of the teams leading the ongoing anti-Netanyahu protests accused Luk and Ofer Golan, the spokesman for the Netanyahu family, of attending the rally to film an organization of alleged coronavirus deniers as part of efforts to discredit the protests.
Netanyahu’s Likud said Luk was on his way to be tested in the prime minister’s office, a construction mile away.
“Topaz Luk arrived for a coronavirus check in Jerusalem according to the commands he obtained from the Ministry of Health when he returned from the delegation to Washington and then returned home,” he said in a statement.
Despite Likud’s statement that Luk will undergo a COVID-19 test, public broadcaster Kan said it had been tested at 9:30 p. m. , an hour before being noticed with a camera at the event.
A complaint was filed with police against Luk for allegedly violating quarantine.
Ronni Gamzu, the government’s reaction to the coronavirus pandemic, asked if the Ministry of Health intended to punish Luk. Those who violate quarantine can be fined NIS 5,000 ($1,450) and imprisoned for six months.
“It doesn’t matter who the user is. Breaking quarantine is a very serious violation, [it can] even spread a disease,” Gamzu told the Ynet news site. “There is also a penalty for criminals. There will be no reduction here. . Public figures are like the total nation, they are all equal. “
Israel imposed a national blockade on Friday, with powerful new restrictions to curb Israel’s rise.
According to the most recent figures from the Ministry of Health, another 188,760 people have COVID-19 since the start of the pandemic, totaling 51,503 with active infections.
The ministry said 651 patients were in serious condition, 160 with fans.
Four more deaths announced Monday morning the death toll at 1,260.
