Several Israelis were hospitalized on Saturday with suspected cases of the mysterious and deadly Coronavirus amid fears of a global epidemic.
The common denominator for those put in quarantine at the Chaim Sheba medical center in Tel Hashomer is a recent trip to China, local media outlets reported.
The article also quotes a Twitter report for those that can’t access Twitter.

Additional information from the Times of Israel
... Three Israelis have been hospitalized and are currently in isolation as medical authorities run tests to determine whether they may have come into contact with a new virus that has killed over three dozen people in China so far.
Medical authorities in Israel believe the three do not have the coronavirus but are taking every precaution as they appear to have flu-like symptoms and at least some of them recently came back from China, Channel 12 reported on Saturday.
