Meanwhile, senior officials from the Ministry of Health and the fight team in Corona this evening addressed a press briefing on the serological coverage conducted in the city of Bnei Brak.
Maj. Gen. Mickey Edelstein, part of the Corona fight team in the ultra-Orthodox sector, said: "The purpose of the survey is to present the real morbidity data in the city, after the closure imposed on Passover. This is a statistical survey with built-in errors, so the experts normalized it.
"The variable we had was more important than the actual morbidity. We sought to understand the proportion between the symptoms and the asymptomatic. Children aged seven and over were examined and the direction of infection in the household was examined: from adults to children or vice versa."
"These are points that are very important when it comes to opening schools," he said.
Prof. Danny Pepperman, the national statistician and director of the CBS, referred to prominent trends that were identified. The population surveyed included 146,470 residents, of whom 8637 were sampled (about 5.9% of Bnei Brak residents). In June 1,756 respondents were received, in July 1,467 and in August only 500 respondents.
The percentage of patients verified by baseline examination was 2% in June, 4.1% in July and 5.6% in August.
The percentage of antibody holders was 6.3% in June, 6.4% in July and 13.8% in August.
Among the subjects in the entire period (June to August), the percentage of antibodies to the virus in Bnei Brak was 9%.
