Aharon from Beit Shemesh receives 6,400 shekels every month because of depression. Maybe you deserve it too?  According to reports in the country's media, the president has shown mild symptoms of the disease. The Elysee Palace said that Macron will continue to run the country by "remote control" and that he is expected to remain in isolation and under medical supervision for a week. According to a report in Israel Hayom, the presidential palace does not know how the president contracted the virus, but is conducting comprehensive tests of all presidential palace staff and checking who came into contact with the president. The president is expected to cancel all visits and meetings he had scheduled for the coming weeks, including a special visit to Lebanon. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wished the French president a speedy recovery - and tweeted: "President Macron, Emmanuel, I wish you a speedy and full recovery." Almost two and a half million people have been infected with the virus in France and close to 60,000 have died.
