Israel: The ambulance company will pay 120 thousand for refusing to take the patient in a T -shirt and shorts

A resident of Ashkelon, who was ill with coronavirus and caused an ambulance to take her to the hospital, faced her refusal to take her in shorts and in a T -shirt, “since the car already has an ultra -ore patient.” Otherwise, she was asked to wait for another car.

At the trial, it turned out that the driver of the car did not even ask why the first passenger objects to that she could go with him, making her own conclusion based on the appearance of the passenger. In fact, the ultra -orthodox passenger did not want to go with the patient with the symptoms of coronavirus, regardless of who it was and what he was dressed in.

Judge Adenko Svhat-Khaimovich emphasized in the decision that ambulance officers are strictly forbidden to nominate the patients related to clothing.
