After some deliberation, it was decided that the isolation would take place in a building located outside the hospital fence, not far from the IDF bases near Tel Hashomer. Kitchenette and several central spaces where passengers will not be allowed to congregate.

This is what travelers' isolation from Japan will look like

The building has an adjoining courtyard, which the insulators can go out to, when each time a different room is called out. In the building itself, the works were completed to clear the rooms and install communication systems in all the rooms. Each room will be equipped with monitoring devices. Sensors will be installed under the mattresses to measure pulse and breathing during sleep. Changes in these indices may be a predictive sign of increasing body heat.

The recluses will be equipped with blood pressure gauges, thermometers and equipment that will allow them to make throat surfaces for themselves. The isolation is designed so that virtually no contact between passengers and medical staff is required, and the communication with them will be via video chat with doctors from the television screens in their room. The chat can be with all passengers together or with each room individually, and passengers will be screened with appropriate content as well as tutorials related to handling them.

Dr. Galia Barkai, an expert on infectious diseases and responsible for medicine and innovation at Sheba: "We endeavor to enable citizens with the best possible medical supervision, while reducing the exposure of medical staff to them. We use advanced medical technologies to get as much medical information on them as possible. "

Outside the complex will be security and will build a room to be used for the protection of medical teams before entering. One estimate is that those returning from Japan may develop an illness at the time of flight or isolation and for that purpose there are additional secluded rooms where they can stay. These rooms also have a robot with a camera and a screen that allows the doctor to check patients remotely. In the event of a medical complication, the full treatment, including the soul in isolation, can be given.

As mentioned, the isolation facility is located in the area near the hospital, where several other buildings are being used to rehabilitate and treat the IDF disabled who were not eager to find out who their new neighbors are. My father, a crippled IDF who used to say, "150 people come here every day." To. We need help dealing with what's going on here. We are worried. The explanations we give are not convincing. We have no tools to understand the size of the case. Ministry of Defense confirmed but we are still in concern "

Prof. Arnon Afek: "We will have a meeting with infectious disease experts tomorrow to alleviate all your concerns. The distance is great and there will be physical separation here. It is important for us to be calm."

Prof. Gili Regev-Yohai, Director of the Sheba Infection Prevention Unit: "We found an outside compound outside the hospital fence. We will make it as far as possible under these conditions as a resort. One of its advantages is that it is isolated and while remaining organized we will make it the best place to isolate them as needed. We'll turn it around if we need a medical facility. With protection for our teams that will be in remote contact and minimal contact. We put emphasis on hotel care alongside medical care. "

In Sheba, they contacted the families of the Israelis and asked them to arrange for their relatives a kit that could contain bedding, food, books and personal items that would take their time in isolation. Also, family representatives were invited to see the place.
