Doctor at Sheba Medical Center diagnosed with coronavirus
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleSheba Medical Center in Tel Hashomer says one of its doctors has been diagnosed with the coronavirus.
The doctor, a member of the hospital’s emergency medicine unit, returned from a trip to France on March 2, before Israel ordered all travelers coming from there to self-quarantine.
He worked a shift that day in the emergency room before going into quarantine.
“He is in good condition and transferred to the quarantined and isolated area at Sheba,” the hospital says in a statement.
Anyone who was in close contact with him will be sent immediately to quarantine, the hospital adds. It says any patient treated by the doctor will be updated.
