Compound data:
• 190 hospital beds including resuscitation
capacity • Ability to treat Acme devices
• 4 remote control and control centers with CCTV cameras
• Over 100 staff members
• 15 intensive care beds
• Strictly maintaining the safety of the treating staff
Dr. Eran Rotman, Director of the Beilinson Campus: “Following the rising wave of morbidity, it was decided in Beilinson to reopen the underground car park that will be used for internal departments and Corona Intensive Care.
Unlike previous discoveries where most of the hospitalized were unvaccinated this time we are also expecting vaccinated corona patients as the Omaricon strain virus is highly contagious.
Fortunately, from the data in the world so far, it seems that the nature of the disease is easier in vaccinated and recovering people.
"In addition, this time we may also see combinations of corona patients with the flu, as we reported last week on a mother who fell ill with both the corona and the flu."
