There is no significant increase in the number of difficult cases. Our mortality rate is among the lowest in the world. "

Grotto referred to the situation in Bnei Brak, saying: "Thousands of tests have now been done and hundreds of patients have been found. At present the tests in the city are less critical, but to find more places."

The number of tests unpublished since Thursday said: "There is a gap between the number of tests done and the number of tests actually tested that day in the lab. Yesterday, for example, about 8,000 tests were done, we would like to do more but have a practical limit."

This morning, the government is expected to discuss the new guidelines for the Seder, designed to prevent the worsening of the Corona's spread during the holiday. Apparently, the approved directives will be stricter than Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech last night, with both the closure and curfew imposed on the Seder night taking longer.
