These two groups, consisting of five members each, worked separately to combat the coronavirus. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The participants had previously enjoyed other\nrehabilitation therapies for some time. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hospitalarias.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/03\/Cosecha-de-olivos.-Marzo-2021.EN_.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Read more (se abre en una nueva pesta\u00f1a)\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you know that a olive harvest can be an excellent mental health support and a therapy for rehabilitation?
