The Ministry of Health published tonight (Wednesday) the updated morbidity data in Corona, according to which 8,191 carriers were identified yesterday, which is 6.8 percent of all new tests (119,828).
Today, by 5:01 p.m., 74,533 tests had been deciphered (minus those aimed at detecting recovery), and in 4,488 of them a positive result was obtained.
According to Fikel, the verified rate is 6%.
In fact, in the past week the number of new patients identified daily has not dropped from 8,000 people, indicating the continued spread of the plague on the eve of the close closure.
There are 60,801 active patients in Israel.

The number of patients is 1,464 - of whom 233 are in moderate condition, 887 in serious condition (of whom 275 are in critical condition) and 210 respirators.
5,373 medical staff are in solitary confinement or have been verified - 668 doctors, 1,415 nurses and 3,290 in other professions.
It is important to note that once so many staff members are disabled, the situation in the hospitals is very difficult in terms of staffing and the question arises as to whether the staffs will be able to function well over time in such a situation.
The death toll from the outbreak in Israel is 3,512.
The mortality rate is rising again - on Tuesday it was reported that there were 39 dead from Corona.
