Israel's consul in China, Edi Shapira, fell ill with Corona and was admitted to a hospital for mandatory hospitalization without medical necessity.
It started when the consul returned from Thailand to China, and went into permanent isolation as required there.
After two days he tested positive, and was sent to a hospital with mild symptoms.
"This is the Chinese policy that happens with everyone including everyone, including diplomats," he explained.
"Now I'm completely recovered, I didn't even have any serious symptoms. The problem is that it caught me in the most wrong place on earth - in China," he said in a post he published last night (Saturday) on Facebook.
"Here, cases of infection are still treated with the same severity as if three years had not passed and nothing had been learned and they advocate the complete separation of those exposed to patients."
The patients themselves are hospitalized in China in designated hospitals.
"Nothing helped and I also found myself in such a hospital for 10 days."
He added, "Nothing prepares you for the experience - not even close engagement with the subject for more than two years."

Shapira described the conditions in the hospital: "I found myself in a room between two corridors, a kind of aquarium, two single beds, two automatic doors that open by remote control and a small window-like opening to insert a food tray."
"The days pass in anticipation of two extremely negative results, with a difference of 24 hours between the tests," he said.
"Conditions reminiscent of a prison (just an estimate, I haven't had it yet), 10 days the most delusional imaginable. Not recommended for claustrophobia sufferers and basically for anyone."
