The Ministry of Health has approved a controlled exit of the elderly from their homes to facilitate them • But after 13 deaths in the nursing home, a step must be taken with increased caution

Following a visit by a district physician on behalf of the Ministry of Health at Mashen Nursing Home in Beersheba, where 13 of its occupants died after they had the corona virus, Saturday's permit was granted to relieve the isolation of the occupants.

Prof. Gadlewitz came to the housing to assess the situation, in light of a request from the Maanan network to examine the relief of 130 homeowners who have been in solitary confinement for 15 days. Following the assessment, the Ministry of Health approved a controlled and individual departure of tenants from their apartments, while adhering to and adhering to the Ministry of Health's guidelines.

Mashan said that "the staff has begun implementing the Ministry of Health's directive and will allow each tenant, in turn, to leave his apartment only for the home and accompanied by a well-staffed staff member." Without a doubt, the move will make it easier for tenants to get out of the room and breathe air. On the other hand, if the relief is not carried out in a safe enough way, this can put the elderly in real danger.

At the same time, tenant families are outraged at the leaning against the sequence of events at the nursing home, claiming their loved ones have been neglected. Only yesterday, 85-year-old Leah Schwartz's granddaughter, the 12th victim to the Corona of nursing home residents, said: "There was no reference to her condition from 'armor.' They were completely ignored. We are very angry about the 'leaning' behavior, was There negligence. Apparently they did not separate the tenants properly. "

Two days ago, the Ministry of Health and MDA jointly announced that they began conducting corona virus infection testing in nursing homes across the country. According to the announcement, about 3,000 tests are expected each day over the next few days, with a focus on nursing homes where corona patients are found.
