Covid-19 Patients in Israeli Quarantine Hotels Find Solace, Unity


(Xinhua-China) Keren Setton - The IDF is operating 12 "Corona hotels": eight host mild Covid-19 patients, and another four host civilians who need to be quarantined. The hotels allow needed care without taking up precious hospital beds. "This is the only place in the country where there are so many people, without masks and free because everyone here is sick and we are not afraid of getting sick anymore," said Eden Emmanuelle Dori, 21, who is staying at a quarantine hotel in Jerusalem. Eden was on a trip to South America when she decided to return to Israel. She then tested positive and was taken to the hotel. She is asymptomatic and has self-appointed herself to be in charge of entertainment in the hotel, where she has conducted Zumba lessons and singing and dancing shows for her fellow guests. The hotel is currently hosting 150 patients, as Arabs, Jews and Christians are staying under the same roof. "There is not a drop of racism, hate or negativity. Everyone is together in this situation. Everyone talks to each other," said Noam Shuster-Eliassi, 33.
