A week after being hospitalized in Japan after the corona virus was discovered in her body, Rachel Bitton's children from Eilat can breathe a sigh of relief. As revealed in "Israel Today", last night (Monday) she was told that there is no longer any sign of the corona virus in her blood and that she is perfectly healthy and may leave Japan and is important to Israel.

"We received the best gift for Mother's Day, our mother, healthy and soon with us in Israel at home. I am sure that Father Isaac will also join her soon and they will celebrate their wedding day," she said excitedly and choked with tears from Ortal Malka, Rachel's daughter. Rachel Yitzhak Biton's husband, who was returned to Israel on a special plane with his family and placed in isolation at Sheba, announced that he had contracted the virus and two days after he had been in isolation with all members of the family, he was transferred to separate isolation.
"It's a big relief that Mom comes home. We've had a very hard two weeks since we found out she was infected with the virus. Helplessness and uncertainty." Said Rafi Bitton, Jr. "We had a very big dilemma. We wanted to accompany my mother on a journey home, but if someone in the family was going to Japan he should have returned to Israel to be isolated," Rafi added. Will Rachel, who will land in Israel tomorrow morning and return to Eilat, her hometown, will not have to stay in isolation. "The doctors from the Ministry of Health have told us there is no problem that she will go home. She should not go into isolation. She is perfectly healthy."
