Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Aviv Kochavi tested negative for coronavirus on Wednesday after going into self-quarantine along with two other senior commanders on Tuesday.
Kochavi, along with IDF Home Front Command head Gen. Tamir Yadai and IDF Operations Directorate head Gen. Nitzan Alon, went into quarantine after another IDF commander, with whom they had attended a meeting on March 22, tested positive for coronavirus on Tuesday, the IDF Spokesperson’s unit said in a statement.
“The chief of staff feels good and will remain in isolation until the end of the week,” said the statement.
