Hillel Yaffe asked that Magen David Adom and the Health Ministry send them only patients requiring urgent care. Ongoing medical care was uninterrupted, although elective procedures were put on hold.
Laniado Hospital in Netanya made preparations to take in patients diverted from Hillel Yaffe.
The event was reported to the Health Ministry, and the hospital said that experts were handling the issue.
