As stated, the four lawmakers, along with several others with them at the time, were instructed by Health Ministry officials to self-isolate.
Consequently, following consultation with Knesset Speaker Yariv Levin, it was decided that the Knesset would function on a limited basis this week.
Knesset committees, meanwhile, will only convene with approval from respective committee chairs.
