Make us a leper. Me on the floor "

Although two of the residents of Be'er Sheva's nursing home have died from Corona, and some of them are in the worst cases of hospitalization in Soroka Hospital - only this morning (Wednesday) a MDA mobile was sent to perform tests for all local residents and staff. Families of nursing home residents resent the delay in the execution. The tests - which may cost the lives of more seniors.

"A terrible catastrophe is happening at the Maanan Nursing Home in Beersheba, because of the Ministry of Health's stubborn refusal to test the corona virus for all tenants," she said angrily Mali Avieuz, the daughter of a tenant at the nursing home, in a conversation with Israel Today. "So terrible about this attitude of the Ministry of Health. Waiting for people to die, or will their situation be very difficult to do for them? My dad is a tenant there and I'm just waiting for the test results he did to come back, and I'll take him home. There".

Zvi Fragment of Beer Sheva, Aviez's father, has been living in the nursing home for about 14 years. "Since the Corona eruption and after the first tenant, Abraham Arushes, my life has not lived," Aviez says. "I am very worried about Dad and the other tenants. The big concern is that after the isolation they are in - they will not be alive. I really hope this scenario does not materialize. They are instructed to enter their rooms and not check them because they are in isolation."

Tonight she died at Soroka Hospital in Be'er Sheva, another 98-year-old resident of the Maanan Nursing Home, who suffered from complex and severe background diseases. Currently in the special care unit dedicated to Corona patients in Soroka 20 patients are hospitalized: six are in serious condition, two are in moderate condition and the rest are defined as mild. Last night, she was released after being hospitalized for about two weeks. However, most of those in serious condition in the ward are nursing home residents.

Following the death of the late Arushas last weekend, tests were conducted on some of the tenants and followed by over ten occupants and staff found positive for the virus.

Members of the Mishan Tenants' families in Beer Sheva, the vast majority of them aged 100-80, demonstrated earlier this week demanding that all residents be examined, but the Ministry of Health has delayed the move - until now. Families are concerned that more seniors have been infected with the virus after it became clear that tenants were being selectively tested.

"The conduct in the nursing home is poor, and more in the direction of the Ministry of Health," said Oshera, whose relative is in Mashan's sheltered housing. "We are worried that more and more seniors will be infected, and these will infect others, and catastrophes will be here."

Aviez added: "If they do not do all the tests properly - more tenants will die. Remember that most of them are very old with background illness. People left the nursing home in shrouds."

Chairman of the Board of Residents of Beer Sheva, 82-year-old Sarah David, who is in solitary confinement, said she "feels fine. The situation is very sad, and we do not know how this story will end. The conduct of the Ministry of Health is very difficult for me. I talk to all the tenants and try to encourage them. The Maanan administration told me that because of the difficult situation here, the Home Front Command will take control of the situation. The medical staff and management made us lepers, all of us in solitary confinement, and put my breakfast on the floor. They knocked on the door, and off they went. Although I do not have a mask, I went down to them and returned the meal to them. I told them I wasn't anyone's bitch. They won't serve me a meal on the floor.

"I talk to other tenants, and the mood is not who knows what. We don't have masks and can't move around freely. What happens is awful. I checked and they have masks, but not tenants. They have inventory, but kept them for the cleaning staff and nurses. We're locked in the rooms. "We are sick of the situation, and I am very sad that this situation has come to us. Congratulations, I have children and grandchildren and I talk to them all day, and it makes me very happy. At least I hope to see the end of the coffin - and that we will leave it healthy and intact."
