Israel suspends parliament after lawmaker tests positive for coronavirus
After he was spotted without a mask among crowds of people, Knesset member Sami Abu Shehadeh announced Thursday he was infected with the virus.
Parliament sessions in Israel are on hold after a legislator repeatedly photographed without a mask tested positive for the coronavirus.
“All Knesset workers have been instructed to not arrive at parliament if their work is not essential," a statement from parliament said. Committee meetings were also postponed Thursday “until all the ramifications are examined.”
