Likud minister at Knesset despite being told to stay away due to concerns of virus exposure

Likud Minister Tzachi Hanegbi is at the Knesset for the swearing-in ceremony, despite Hebrew media reports saying he was told to keep away over concerns he was in contact with someone suspected to have the coronavirus.

According to Channel 12 news, Hanegbi was in the presence of a man whose wife is confirmed to have the virus.

Lawmakers had their temperatures taken when they entered the Knesset, suggesting Hanegbi doesn’t have a fever as he was let into the building.
