The visit of the two comes only on the continuing increase in morbidity: The Ministry of Health updated this morning (Friday) that 5,804 people were diagnosed yesterday as being vaccinated against the virus, out of about 101,000 tests performed yesterday.
The rate of positive results stands at 5.7%.
The ministry's data also show that there are 45,373 active Corona patients in Israel, while 1,102 people are hospitalized in hospitals around the country.
678 of the patients are in critical condition, 178 of them are connected to respirators.
The total number of deaths in Israel since the outbreak of the plague stands at 3,338 people.
It was also reported that 4,019 medical staff members are in isolation, of whom 487 are doctors and 1,054 brothers and sisters.
Meanwhile, last night it was revealed that 19 people suffered from circumcision in the oral area after receiving a first dose of vaccine for corona.
It is estimated that since the mid-week report, dozens more may have been suffering from the phenomenon.
In response to the complaints, the committee that prioritizes vaccines asked the global Pfizer company for clarification on this side effect.
