Another man who recently returned to Israel after having been in isolation in Japan for two weeks still tested positive for the virus and was placed under quarantine.

The ministry's announcement came after it published its epidemiological findings into the first Israeli patient's movements upon his arrival from Italy. The man arrived on El Al flight 382 from Italy, which landed on Feb. 23 at 4:10 p.m.

On Sunday, Feb. 23, the man visited the Red Pirate costume shop in Or Yehuda. He returned to the shop on Tuesday, Feb. 25.

On Monday morning, he attended the Irus Synagogue on Noga St. in the community of Irus, south of Rishon Lezion.

The Health Ministry statement warned that anyone who was in those places on those dates for 15 minutes or more should enter self-quarantine for 14 days, and report his or her case to the ministry.
