3 more women from Beersheba assisted living facility sick with virus

Three elderly women, all residents of an assisted living facility in the southern city of Beersheba, are in serious condition after contracting COVID-19, Channel 13 reports.

The development comes after another resident of the Mishan facility in Beersheba died of the illness on Friday.

The Soroka Medical Center on Friday morning said 93-year-old Avraham Aroshas was brought to the hospital from the facility. He had a fever and shortness of breath and had “complicated and difficult underlying illnesses,” the Beersheba-based hospital said. He tested positive for the virus and hours later succumbed to the illness, according to the statement.
