The medical center treated 93 patients who were ill with COVID-19, the disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, the novel coronavirus, since the start of the global pandemic.
Among the patients treated at Poriya was the very first patient who contracted the virus in Israel, and whose condition was listed as critical; the tour bus driver who was exposed to a group of tourists from Greece who later were diagnosed with the virus.
