"According to the guidelines, I will go into isolation until next Friday," Netanyahu wrote on Twitter. "I feel great. Today and yesterday I underwent two negative corona tests. I continue to work around the clock to bring millions of vaccines to Israeli citizens and strengthen our economy. Guidelines and keep healthy! "
In addition, Channel 12 reported that Netanyahu will become the first Israeli to get the Pfizer vaccine. The prime minister himself will kick off the vaccine drive on Saturday night after Shabbat is over.
