One of the doctors at the Hamavri retirement home in Kfar Saba tested positive for coronavirus last Wednesday, forcing 11 of the residents of the retirement home to go into isolation, along with four staff members, due to having come into contact with the doctor.

The director of the retirement home told Kan News that he had requested that the Health Ministry conduct tests on everyone who came into contact with the doctor, but the Ministry decided to test only a sample of the people concerned.
