Another sign of returning to routine? Magen David Adom's dedicated focus on the treatment of the corona virus will cease tomorrow (Sunday), and the responsibility for the matter will shift to the health funds. In any situation where a person feels the symptoms of the disease, he or she should contact the health fund of which he is a member, and the treatment will be done by her.

At the same time, MDA paramedics and paramedics will continue to carry out corona virus specimens at the "check-in and travel" complexes, in patients' homes, nursing homes and other institutions, and contact verified corona patients to hospitals and inpatient clinics. For up to 24 hours from the time the subject called.

MDA Director General Eli Bin Messer: "The Corona hotline was set up in Magen David Adom shortly, and from the very beginning provided a response to anyone who needed it. Many paramedics and paramedics were harnessed in favor of the activity at the hotline, and made many nights to meet with all seriousness And the professionalism of each of the tens of thousands of citizens who called every day.
