Major outbreak reported in nursing homes, with cases found in 28 locations
Channel 12 reports on a major coronavirus outbreak over the weekend in nursing homes, home to one of COVID-19’s most at-risk populations.
The report says virus cases were found in 19 nursing homes across the country, with new cases in another nine where outbreaks had already been diagnosed.
In one Haifa location some 80 cases were discovered, the report says.
The head of a government program to protect the elderly from the virus tells the network the past week “has been unlike anything we’ve seen before.”
