As of Wednesday morning, there 12,200 coronavirus cases in Israel with the death toll currently standing at 126, health authorities confirmed.
Among the latest figures are 176 patients in serious condition, a 2.8% decline in the past 24 hours, including 132 patients receiving ventilator support, a 3% decline in 24 hours.
At least 173 patients are in moderate condition, while 9,416 only display mild symptoms and 2,309 patients have made a full recovery from the virus.
There are currently 783 coronavirus patients receiving treatment in hospitals while 7,318 people are fighting the virus at home. Another 1,196 people are currently receiving treatment in specially designated hotels and 468 are awaiting a decision on whether they will be treated.
The Health Ministry said among the latest fatalities is an 82-year-old woman who was hospitalized at Soroka Medical Center in Be'er Sheva. The woman, named Zamira Arzi, becomes the fourteenth victim from Mishan nursing home in Be'er Sheva to have died from complications related to COVID-19.
Zamira, who was hospitalized on March 28, is survived by three children and nine grandchildren.
“Nobody from Mishan Be’er Sheva or Mishan in general showed interest in my mother and us, her nuclear family,” said Zamira’s son Ofer. “They did not call, did not ask, did not care. They put our mother in the statistical maze and disappeared.”
Mishan is a network of senior living facilities across Israel.
The assisted living facility has been heavily criticized for neglecting the ill residents and for not alerting the medical personnel and doctors soon enough. Since the start of the epidemic, nursing homes around the country have been under fire for not dealing with the health crisis in an adequate manner, leading to deaths that many say could have been prevented.
