Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleTel Aviv’s Ichilov Hospital will no longer accept geriatric COVID-19 patients due to the large number of people being treated in its coronavirus wards, the Haaretz daily reports.
The hospital says it has been unable to find a facility to send 25 geriatric patients who no longer require treatment, leading to the burden on the COVID departments, according to the newspaper.
