Labor lawmaker becomes 10th MK infected with COVID in recent days
Labor lawmaker Emilie Moatti says she has tested positive for COVID-19.
“Friends, I just informed the party that I also, like many of us, tested positive for coronavirus. I feel reasonably well, I had some fever. I think it’s going to be okay,” Moatti writes on Twitter.
Her announcement comes shortly after Yamina’s Yomtob Kalfon also tests positive.
At least 10 Knesset members have come down with the virus in recent days, including Foreign Minister Yair Lapid.
