A definite sign of the second wave? Sixteen residents and staff members at the Golden Age nursing home in the Katamon neighborhood of Jerusalem contracted the Corona virus. Families infected with Corona received an update immediately after the results were received. Shaare Zedek Hospital in the capital noted that six of the people living in Corona at the nursing home are hospitalized in a minor condition.

The results of the tests on Saturday showed that 12 of the infected patients were in nursing care and were hospitalized. In addition, two other exhausted patients have also been sent to hospitals and two other exhausted are in isolation at the nursing home in coordination with the district physician.

The nursing home staff was also sick with the virus: two foreign workers, who were caring for the nursing ward, were found to be positive to Corona and were left in solitary confinement in their home. The possibility of being contaminated is tested. However, they were symptom-free and tests performed previously were negative. In addition, they are also investigating the possibility that they have been infected by one of the occupants.

As mentioned, only today a serious report was published by the Corona National Information and Knowledge Center, a center where members of the UN and the Ministry of Health are members. According to the report, "Israel is currently undergoing a second wave of morbidity in Corona and urgent and immediate steps must be taken related to enforcement and cessation of relief to avoid the closure in a month. Without these steps, the number of new infections will reach more than a thousand in a month and the number of deceased will reach many hundreds. "

In the first wave as mentioned, there were many outbreaks in a nursing home. Jerusalem was the first focal point where the Corona struck - in the Jerusalem nursing home "Nofim", which three of its occupants died after contracting the virus. In the southern sector there is a drama about the "Mashan" nursing home in Be'er Sheva, where 14 of its occupants have died. At the same time, 29 occupants were infected with the Corona Beit Zahavit geriatric center in Ashkelon.

In Bnei Brak, there were four nursing homes in the first wave where many cases of corona infection were discovered, the most prominent of which is the Ateret ancestral nursing home where over 20 patients were diagnosed. Many more comorbidities have been recorded in nursing homes across the country.
