Another resident of Be'er Sheva's Mashan died from Corona

Five residents in the nursing home at Maanan Nursing Home in Beer Sheva have so far passed away, the last of which is a resident transferred last Wednesday, according to the Ministry of Health, to the "Neot High School" geriatric center in Jaffa. Earlier, in the morning, a 67-year-old resident of Soroka Hospital died in the city, after being diagnosed as positive for the Corona virus. She suffered from a variety of serious background illnesses and was transferred from the nursing home in Be'er Sheva a few days ago.

"This is an unimaginable level of disaster and a continuing failure by the Ministry of Health and the Maanan administration that does not do enough to care for the elderly who are in the nursing home," claims Ravid, whose 85-year-old father lives in Mashan. "I really can't believe that there is such a big medical malfunction and the Ministry of Health is acting like nothing is happening. So far, because of the failures, five tenants have passed away."



The medical staff in isolation - and the elderly alone

Corona default in Bnei Brak: Parents' home gardens "in Bnei Brak remained without one medical staff member and the elderly in the place were left alone," Israel Today found out. The manager of the place cries out for help: "We need urgent medical help."

In recent days, two elderly corona cases have been discovered in the nursing home in Bnei Brak. This is a relatively small nursing home with 36 seniors, assisted by 35 employees, half of whom are defined as medical staff and caregivers.

As a result of the Corona cases discovered, 18 medical personnel on the scene had to go into isolation. But out of commitment to their work, some continued to care for the elderly out of commitment, until some began to feel momentarily and eventually it was understood that they should be placed in solitary confinement and obey the Health Ministry.

One hundred gates: ten arrested after stones were thrown

Police forces are operating on Saturday in the ultra-Orthodox neighborhood of Jerusalem to enforce emergency regulations. On Friday night, police identified dozens of residents in the area who violated the guidelines, some of which began throwing stones at police forces who were forced to disperse some of them by means of dispersing demonstrations.

During the morning, the troops continued to disperse residents who crowded in opposition to the order and acted against residents who tried to hold prayers in synagogues and open areas in opposition to the order. Police officers were attacked by residents in the neighborhood, and about 10 suspects were arrested on suspicion of assaulting and failing police. So far, more than 30 reports have been filed for violators of the guidelines.



The couple passed away from Corona for about a week

At the Ichilov Hospital last night, the death of 70-year-old Chula Avrahami, a resident of Bat Yam, was determined due to a complication of the Corona virus. Her late husband Danny, who celebrated his 80th birthday a month ago, died of the virus just over a week ago at Wolfson Hospital in Holon. In a post released by Danny's daughter, she claims her father contracted when he arrived at the hospital, with other Corona patients around. If the infection was in the family circle.



Patients violated guidelines and were hospitalized

Two Corona patients, residents of Eilat, were evacuated last Friday (forced) to hospitalization at Soroka Hospital after acting contrary to the Ministry of Health's instructions. This is an 80-year-old man who was diagnosed with Corona a week ago and his grandson who was also diagnosed with the virus. Until the corona was examined by the family, the grandfather went out of the house and his grandson violated the isolation and apparently went on an explosion. Their routes have not yet been published.

"Netanyahu and Gantz understands"

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Blue White Chairman Benny Gantz met yesterday (Friday) - a joint statement by Likud parties and White Blue said. The meeting said the meeting was "aimed at furthering negotiations for the establishment of a national emergency government. The conversation took place in a good and interesting atmosphere, where understandings and progress were achieved. The two instructed the negotiating teams to try and bring as soon as possible to a conclusion that would allow a coalition agreement between blue and white and Likud. "

Earlier yesterday, Blue and White Chairman Benny Gantz on social networks addressed the issue of forming the government and wrote: "Since receiving the mandate, I have been engaged in one thing - establishing a national emergency government to fight in Corona, maintain democracy in Israel, assist the economy with a focus on the self-employed and the dismissed and exclude Israel To a new and unified road.

"Everybody understands that only a national emergency government will save Israel and get it out of the economic mud that awaits us all after we have overcome united forces over the Corona virus. These days, we have to step under the national stretcher and fight Corona with an open eye to the ongoing security challenges."



The special grant will not be transferred before Passover

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this week announced special grants for families up to a maximum of NIS 2,000 per family, and announced that veterans and disabled citizens will also receive a grant of NIS 500. But before the Sabbath began, it became clear that Social Security Director Meir Spiegeler had announced to the Prime Minister's Office that the grant would not be passed on to seniors and families with children, as the government had not yet approved the emergency regulations.

According to Spiegeler, even if the government approves the regulations at the cabinet meeting on Saturday night or Sunday - the gift of Passover will not be possible before Passover for technological reasons.



U.S. tragedy: 1,480 dead from Corona a day

The death toll from Corona in the United States is rising. On Saturday, the AFP reported 1,480 Americans who died after contracting the virus, with half the deaths in New York State. In all of the United States, more than 277,000 people have been infected, about one-quarter of the world's total infection. The Corona virus has so far taken more lives in New York State than the September 11 attacks.



A leap in the quorum of Europe in Corona

Spanish authorities reported 809 deaths in the past day. Yesterday, there were 850 cases in the country, and more than 7,000 new patients a day. At the same time, in Italy, the rate of infection seems to be still declining with 4,585 new cases.

The number of patients in both countries is almost the same, and while Italy is in a slowdown, Spain has not yet seen a change in the rate of infection. Spain today reported more than 5,300 new cases of infection, and it apparently bypasses Italy in the number of patients and becomes the second country in the world, after the United States with the highest number of infections. However, the latest figures have not yet come out of Italy, but should the slowdown in infection cases continue, this is the expected trend.

The hospital in Catalonia, one of the two areas most severely affected by Corona, is under "maximum pressure," said regional leader Kim Torre. Torre said in an interview that "at the hospital level we can respond to all the cases that come, but we are at the border. We are at maximum pressure." He added that the main problem was a lack of medical equipment.

Iran: Six die from Corona every hour

The Ayatollah regime is trying to broadcast business as usual, but in practice - even according to the official quorum - the Corona virus continues to lead to the deaths of more than 100 people every day. In the last day, 158 people have died from the virus across Iran, bringing the total to 3,452, Iranian Health Ministry spokesman Kyanush Jahanpur said. No fewer than 55,743 Iranians have been infected with the virus, 4,103 of whom are in serious condition.

Official data from the Ayatollah regime indicate that at least six people are killed in the Corona virus every hour in Iran. These findings do not change anything in Tehran, except for the repetition of statements that seem pointless at this stage. One of them is Health Minister Said Namaki, who claims that "in the coming days we will see a significant turnaround in the extent of the infection." Things were said on Thursday and today (Saturday) did not seem to turn.
