Most cases were recorded in the third wave.

1,021 of the total patients are infants and children up to 4. 925 of them were hospitalized in mild condition, 57 in moderate condition, 36 in severe and critical condition and three died.

Among the older age groups, the number of patients was significantly smaller - 389 aged 5 to 14 and 377 aged 15 to 18 were hospitalized.

As mentioned, the head of the general medicine department at the Ministry of Health sent a letter to all hospital directors in the country yesterday, in which he stated that there is an expectation of an increase in morbidity at a young age in the coming months.

Meanwhile, Dr. Moshe Ashkenazi, deputy director of Safra Hospital in Sheba, updated at a briefing that they currently have two Corona-borne children in a mild condition, that the reason for their hospitalization is not the virus.

"None of the children hospitalized at our hospital had any real corona symptoms, only very mild symptoms. According to the experience we have gained in the three waves, we do not currently see greater morbidity in children," said Dr. Ashkenazi.

Bracha Malayev (41) from Or Yehuda, a mother of four, is the mother of 6-year-old Yair who is hospitalized.

He was diagnosed with appendicitis and a routine examination revealed that he was infected with corona.

"Yair suffered from abdominal pain. He was examined by a doctor at the clinic as well as an older doctor, who recommended going to the emergency room to rule out appendicitis," she noted.

"This was the first diagnosis, and in preparation for the operation he was diagnosed in Corona. Since then Yair has been hospitalized. It was decided not to operate on him so that there would be no complications after the operation, and he is given three types of antibiotics to relieve the inflammation. They will recover from the virus. "
