Corona patients' troubles do not end even after recovery • "Friends who encouraged me when I was at the hotel suddenly disappeared and are not ready to meet" • "It's like a Cain signal"

Recoverers from Corona who have recently been released from hotels or hospitals say they feel "lepers" - family and friends are afraid to meet them, and workplaces refuse to return to work. This is despite the fact that at least two corona tests were found to be negative, and despite the fact that it was decided that they were no longer ill in Corona and were not contagious. 

For example, Leah, who was recently released from the Prima Palace Hotel in Jerusalem, says, "I came home thinking they would be happy to receive me. The reality was different.

She says, "Every time I had to re-explain what I already did. It's not a simple thing. It's like a cine signal going after you. Once sick - always sick." 

Oren, who was released from Dan Jerusalem, tried to return to his job as a security guard and found out that his job was already taken: "My boss stammered that he would come back to me. After a few days, I tried to find out what was going on, and he didn't answer. Finding someone in my place. To me it's obvious he's just scared that I'll come, even though I'm already healthy, because it didn't come up before he knew I was sick. "

Itzik was released from Dan Panorama in Tel Aviv and told of his feelings: "We are lepers. It is worse for a released prisoner. My friends and even family members who cheered me nicely when I was in the hotel, simply disappeared when I came home. At home I wish I would still be in the room and disrespect wherever I touched. The neighbors flee from me like an epidemic. Friends answer me on the phone, but when I want to meet, they make different excuses. "
