"Grandma is a veteran of the city of Beer Sheva," said Regev Rets, Schwartz's grandson. "She immigrated in the 1950s, as a Holocaust survivor. Last Tuesday, she was transferred from the Maanan nursing home in Be'er Sheva to the center of Jaffa, and then her condition began to deteriorate. Grandma Leah was an extraordinary woman in her humility and modesty."

• Grandson of the tenth deceased in the Maanan network: "State-sponsored extermination camp"

• "The workers did not wear masks when the plague broke out"

• Requirement: "Migrate Corona Patients"

• "There's a default here but it won't help Grandma anymore"

Following the deaths from Corona among Mishan residents in Be'er Sheva, and complaints from elderly relatives about the conduct of the nursing home and the Ministry of Health, Rets said "there was no reference to her condition from Mashan. They completely ignored her. Updates on her condition We are very angry about the behavior of 'Mishan', there was negligence, and apparently did not separate the tenants properly.

"The family, like other families, has a lot of anger about the health ministry that didn't do tests right away. We expected the health ministry to manage it professionally, but not. If the early stages were strict on isolation and the ministry would come up with teams that can treat the virus, maybe not We would come to this state of the chain of adhesions. "

Schwartz, a Romanian and Holocaust survivor, has been running the "Tree of the Field" nature shop in the Old City of Beer Sheva in recent years. She is survived by three children, seven grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. "She was an angel woman, with exceptional giving, gentleness and kindness," said Rats.

Mashan said: "Maanan resident Leah Schwartz died at the geriatric institution in Jaffa, where she was transferred after being found positive for the Corona virus." The nursing home added that the conduct is the responsibility of the Ministry of Health and they follow the professional guidelines.

Meanwhile, the 90-year-old who passed away tonight at the biological screening at Hillel Yaffe Hospital in Hadera is one of the eight occupants of the Yavneel nursing home that passed away from Corona. Of the 135 occupants, only 50 vaccines remained in the nursing home and all the rest were moved elsewhere around the country after it was discovered that they had contracted the virus.
