169 of the patients are respiratory, the condition of 653 patients is defined as severe and 279 in moderate condition, the rest in mild condition.
A disturbing report by the Intelligence Division shows that a 50% increase in the number of patients in critical condition since the beginning of the month brings hospitals closer to the limit of their capacity.
The report states: "The number of new patients in Israel is among the highest in the world in relation to the size of the population.
The percentage of positive tests is also very high in relation to most countries in the world and indicates a significantly higher incidence of morbidity than is actually detected. "
