"In most cases, it is very difficult to prove that a person is infected while at work."
The nurse, who worked for 12 years at the same workplace, contracted the virus in April 2020, after one of the residents she cared for was a verified patient.
A., recovered from the corona, however, was still left with significant health damage to lung function and to this day has not returned to work.

"She has suffered health damage to this day," said attorney Ortal Yonah, who represents A. She can not return to her profession.
" Indeed, Social Security has recognized this. We proved that the same tenant also infected other workers in the compound and that she was close to him for two days. "
A. has already received the full amount and it is highly likely that she will receive additional funds in the future. ", Said Advocate Yonah. "In most cases, it is very difficult to prove that a person is infected while working. Anyone who is sick from Corona does not receive compensation from the state for this,It is only because she became infected as part of her job that she received this compensation. "
Advocate Yonah stressed that “People who think they have fallen ill in their workplace, it is important to state this already in the initial examination with the doctor so that it will be registered and can be used as a reference for further.
It is also recommended and desirable to file the claim within one year from the date of the injury or from the day the patient was diagnosed with the virus. "
