A female New Yorker who traveled in Israel from February 23-27, much of that time in Jerusalem, was diagnosed on Wednesday with the COVID-19 novel coronavirus, the Health Ministry announced.
The woman, who is in her fifties, has no symptoms and who was in “close contact” with one of the people in New York City who also was diagnosed with the virus. That person was admitted to the hospital earlier this week; his son has also been diagnosed with the virus.
In addition, a 52-year-old Manhattan attorney is currently in critical but stable condition at a New York City hospital after having contracted the virus during his travels to Miami. The attorney’s wife, son, daughter and a neighbor have also tested positive.
Following are the locations provided by the Health Ministry, which asks that anyone who was in those areas to immediate enter a self-quarantine at home.
