The Ministry of Health and the Information and Knowledge Center of the National Security Agency published this morning (Monday) the picture of the spread of the corona virus in Israel as of 08:59.
The infection rate in Israel continues to decline and currently stands at 0.76. According to data yesterday, 1,339 new carriers of the virus were discovered in Israel, which is 2.4 percent of all 55,230 new tests.
This is the lowest number of positives per week in recent months.
The number of diagnoses found so far today stands at 542 which is 2.6 per cent out of 20949 new tests.
The National Security Agency notes that the number of patients and the number of patients in critical condition continue to decline, but the incidence of the disease is still relatively high and caution must be exercised. The rate of positive tests is steadily declining and the infection rate has fallen sharply in the past week. Relatively high (about 650 on a weekly average), but continues to decline gradually.Despite the positive developments, continued relief may lead to a re-increase in morbidity, especially in those who have not yet been vaccinated.
The number of patients hospitalized stands at 995 people and this is the first drop among less than a thousand patients since the onset of the third wave outbreak.
According to the Ministry of Health board, the number of difficult patients is 627, which is the lowest figure since the beginning of the third corona wave.
The death toll in the epidemic is 6,025 people when yesterday 14.03 21 people died, today four people died.
The number of Israelis who received the first vaccine dose is 516,5723, which is 55.55 percent of all Israelis.
The number of recipients of the second vaccine dose is 4209104, which is 45.26 percent of all Israelis. The number of people infected with the virus since the outbreak of the epidemic is 819,987 people, while the number of active patients today is 27,593 people.
A recommendation also for recovering people to get vaccinated
The AMN report refers to recoverers and writes that there are good reasons to vaccinate them as well, because they are "at risk of re-infection with the South African strain found in Israel and possibly similar strains, such as the Brazilian strain. Therefore, it is recommended that recoverers be vaccinated soon." "The CDC has declared that there are no known safety risks in vaccines and a series of studies show that one vaccine cream greatly improves the protection of recoverers from existing variants. Preliminary reports indicate that recoverers who suffer from persistent symptoms even after recovery indicate a marked improvement in their condition."
