Likud MK Nir Barkat announced Sunday that he, too, is entering quarantine after having discovered that he was exposed to a carrier of the coronavirus.

Barkat is the second Knesset member to have made such a discovery this weekend: Arab Joint List MK Ahmad Tibi made a similar announcement earlier in the day, and he too entered quarantine as well.
