The Corona eruption at the Ashkelon Protected Precision

Amigur's "Zahavit" golden age home in Ashkelon has infected 32 people with the Corona virus. Following this, police forces and Home Front and Health Ministry personnel closed the compound on Pilots Street in the city. The center is completely closed to prevent entry and exit of tenants, medical staff and tenants' families, some of which were inside the building.

Since morning hours, medical teams have been conducting extensive tests to locate additional patients, as well as to evacuate residents who are already in Corona hotel accommodation, to prevent them from contracting the virus. "On the eve of the holiday, tests were performed for all 150 residents according to our demand, and about an hour ago we were notified that the number of confirmed patients had risen to more than 30," said Erez Shani, senior vice president of seniors, "because of this, there is a hermetic closure of the building."

Following the outbreak of the Corona at the Ashkelon Sheltered Housing, Mayor Tomer Glam said: "We are in contact with the Zahavit-protected housing to provide everything they need at this time. Through the Welfare and Social Services Department, we will provide tenants with hot food for the weekend and food products for the coming days. At the same time, I sought to speed it up to find more patients, hoping they would not.

The recent outbreaks around the country teach us that the sooner we know about patients in the community at an earlier stage, the better we can handle it. I send from here a quick recovery and complete medicine to patients and good news to all of us. "
