Virus Survivors Volunteering in Israeli Wards
(U.S. News) Sara Toth Stub - A few times a week, Shuki Rock heads to Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem, where he dons full-body protective gear and enters the coronavirus ward. His tasks range from distributing food and water to just sitting and talking with Covid-19 patients, who are confined to isolation rooms and unable to see family or other visitors. He is only allowed inside because, back in April, he was infected and recovered from the virus, and therefore assumed to have some immunity. Rock is one of 20 recovered Covid patients who started volunteering at Hadassah in July to help current patients with both physical and emotional needs.
