According to Shlomi Heller, a reporter for Kol Ha'Ir and Israel Hayom, the City of Bet Shemesh is looking into the possibility of distributing Vitamin D to all residents in an effort to help fighting the spread of COVID-19.
The City of Bet Shemesh has confirmed to Heller that it has been in contact with the Ministry of Health to coordinate this project after consulting with doctors and medical experts on the matter.
The City says it is important because about half the city is Haredi and studies have shown that in general the Haredi community suffers from Vitamin D deficiencies due to minimal exposure to the sun.
I can't wait for a bottle of Vitamin D to appear in my mailbox one day! But I also want vitamins B, C and Zinc!.
