Social equality minister says visits to nursing homes must continue

Social Equality Minister Meirav Cohen, a member of the high-level coronavirus cabinet, says visits to nursing homes must continue amid the pandemic.

“Family members must continue their visits to relatives in nursing homes, otherwise the residents will simply die of loneliness,” she tells Army Radio.

Numerous assisted living facilities and retirement homes have seen serious COVID-19 outbreaks since the start of the pandemic.
