The death toll in Israel is 919, when nine people have died since midnight. At the top of the list of red cities are Bnei Brak, Tira, Kfar Qassem, Umm al-Fahm, Dalit al-Carmel, Lakia, Ma'ale Iron, Yakir, Tifrah, Buqata and Yad Binyamin. 

Meanwhile, the corona ward at Shaare Zedek is over 100 percent occupancy, and so is the general occupancy situation at Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital. 

Tonight, the "traffic light model" approved by the corona commissioner, Prof. Roni Gamzo, was approved by the Cabinet. The outline, which maps the red, orange and green cities across the country according to the extent of morbidity, is intended to help curb the spread of the virus, while imposing restrictions on areas where high infection rates have been recorded.
