Dozens of people who attended a football match last week in Tel Aviv, Israel, have been ordered to self-quarantine, quoting Israeli news website Ynet, reports BBC.
A teenager among a crowd of away fans at the game between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel Tel Aviv was infected with coronavirus, Israel's health ministry confirmed on Wednesday.
The teenager is believed to have contracted the virus from the manager of a toy store who had visited Italy and earlier tested positive.
"He is currently in isolation in his room and hasn't been in contact with the rest of the household [since testing positive]," the boy's mother said, adding that her son had a stuffy nose and a cough, but no fever.
The health ministry initially requested that thousands of fans at the match be quarantined, but limited the number following an outcry.
Coronavirus outbreak originated in China's Wuhan city in December and has spread to over 80 countries since then, killing around 3,203 and infecting as many as 93,202 globally.
