Edelstein complains about doctor who encouraged protesters to evade quarantine
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleHealth Minister Yuli Edelstein files a complaint about a doctor at Soroka hospital in Beersheba who called on protesters coming to last night’s anti-government mass rally in Tel Aviv not to bring their cellphones to avoid potential virus quarantine.
Prof. Ruthy Shaco-Levy, head of the Israeli Pathologists Association and head of the hospital’s Department of Pathology, published a Facebook post yesterday saying: “Whoever comes tonight to the protest and doesn’t want to enter a 14-day quarantine tomorrow, do yourself a favor and leave your phone at home!!!”
Authorities are fighting potential infections by tracking cellphones and instructing people to self-isolate if they were near a COVID-19 patient.
The complaint is filed to Dr. Boaz Lev, the government ombudsman on medical issues.
