The number of verified tests is relatively low, standing at 15,741 in the last day and about 5,770 at midnight. However, the percentage of positive tests since midnight is 9.8 (506 infected) - the highest percentage in the past week. The decrease in the number of tests is due to the Sabbath, so there is a smaller requirement to perform the tests.
Bnei Brak, Beitar Illit, Beit Shemesh, Elad and Qalansawa were defined as red cities. They are followed by Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. In addition, according to the data, there are 3,069 health staff members who are currently in isolation: 468 doctors, 861 nurses, and 1,740 in other professions.

Meanwhile, the police are troubled by the rate of infections in Corona among the police. Currently, 118 police officers have been infected with the virus and 958 are in isolation. At this point, police say, there is still no indication that the infections originated in protest demonstrations held in recent weeks.
A police spokeswoman clarified today that "some of the police officers became infected outside the scope of their duties and some in operational activities."
