Knesset said considering testing all MKs for coronavirus
A man who attended a conference with three Knesset members has tested positive for the coronavirus, Channel 12 news reports, likely sending them to home quarantine.
The three lawmakers are Likud Minister Tzachi Hanegbi and Blue and White MKs Ram Ben-Barak and Alon Shuster. Hanegbi was at the Knesset yesterday for the swearing-in ceremony despite being told to stay away.
The Knesset is now considering emergency measures and possibly testing all MKs for the virus, according to the network.
