Israel's Environment Protection Minister Gila Gamliel on Sunday tested positive for the novel coronavirus.

"I have been diagnosed with coronavirus, I feel good and hope to recover quickly with God's help," Gamliel wrote on Twitter.

She is the fourth Israeli current cabinet member infected with the virus.

On Friday, Gamliel published photos of her celebrating Sukkot Jewish holiday with her family.

Last month, Israeli Minister of Immigration and Integration Pnina Tamano-Shata, 38, tested positive for COVID-19. She was followed by Jerusalem Affairs Minister Rafi Peretz and former housing minister Yaakov Litzman.
