(Ha'aretz) Ruth Schuster - Students and faculty in science departments at Israeli universities are volunteering in droves to test people, conduct analyses of samples, and assist lab workers, paramedics and army teams. In addition, more than 2,000 students from Israel's medical schools have volunteered. Students are helping at drive-in, swab-sample collection stations, and are also on board ambulances and army vehicles traveling to collect samples from people quarantined or shut up at home. Shirel Argueti, who is pursuing a doctorate in physiology at Ben-Gurion University, said, we "decided to volunteer with pleasure. We aren't afraid. We know how to do the lab tests; we have good protective gear, we are young and we will be fine."
