In Petah Tikva, they expressed great sorrow following the death of the late teacher Shalva Zalfreund from the Corona virus tonight (Friday). She left behind two sons and four daughters.

The teachers' union participated in the family's heavy grief following the tragic death of the kindergarten teacher. "Zalfreund was a respected and beloved teacher who educated the children of Israel from an early age," the organization said. "She probably became infected in the kindergarten where she worked.

Anat Dadon, director of the kindergarten department at the Teachers' Union, said: "My heart is broken, a woman who raised generations of children, a respected and beloved kindergarten teacher for 40 years, contracted a child from a kindergarten in Corona. I call on the Israeli government, prime minister and education minister: "Keep the Israeli kindergarten teachers, who endanger themselves every day when they arrive at the kindergarten. It is not possible to constantly deal with the percentage of infection and not understand what it is like to be in a kindergarten with 35 children. The Petah Tikva kindergarten teacher died while fulfilling her role." 

The mayor of Petah Tikva on a teacher who died of corona today referred on his Facebook page to things she wrote before she died: "It hurts. This is a message written by the late Shalva after she contracted the corona virus, to the parents of the kindergarten where she was a teacher in Petah Tikva.

The late teacher wrote in a group of defense about two weeks ago: "It is important for me to first thank you for the initiative that the kindergarten children who are members of Clalit will check. Second, I have received several calls in recent days from competent sources who probably infected the kindergarten ... You must have seen me write in the past. Liability since I am in a risk group. And here - which I lived ... coming! "

Her teacher emphasized at the time that "the authorities know for sure about families who violated isolation or did not follow the municipality's directive not to send children whose home has an isolated family member. For people like me, the directive came to the kindergarten ... Unfortunately, some preferred to send the child to kindergarten. Trust "the Israeli while fatally damaging an important value of" mutual guarantee "and" will not stand on the blood of another ".
