We wrote here earlier this month about how Santé Israël is helping to respond to the Coronavirus crisis in Israel.

And of course, it continues to do so. Its Facebook page continues to provide updates in French on an almost daily basis. For example, it carries updates from the Ministry of Health as its directives are made more and more stringent.
Or about new updates about products that should – or shouldn’t – be used:
It also publishes information on the ‘side effects’ of shelter in place and lockdown directives, such as notifications of the Legal Aid Department of the Department of Justice:
There is a special page on the Santé Israël web site about the cornavirus and is updated as the Ministry of Health updates its directives.

t is important to point out that the information is from the Ministry of Health and official ‘what to do’ scenarios; it doesn’t carry medical information about the virus. We found that there’s enough of that online.
This has proven to be a particularly important service at this time. While the French-speaking population has been particularly affected by the outbreak, the Ministry of Health has yet to translate all its instructions into French (to its credit, it does translate into Arabic, English, Russian, and Amharic). That is where we – and Sante Israel – is picking up the slack. Kol Hakavod to Santé Israël on the quick and accurate information.
Many thanks to the Pharmadom Foundation for their continued support of Santé Israël over the years. Wishing health and safety to all!
