Meanwhile, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett will hold a consultation tomorrow (Wednesday) with Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz and senior officials of his ministry, in view of the increase in infection rates in a number of places around the world and in Israel.
The director general of the Ministry of Health, Prof. Nachman Ash, said in Network B: "I am disturbed by the ever-expanding 2BA variant.
Hopefully we will not see a change in trend and an increase in numbers in the near future. "
As you may recall, the Ministry of Health today published data according to which 6,521 new verified patients were diagnosed in Israel yesterday, out of 89,547 tests performed.
This is an increase in the number of verified, as 5,857 new patients were diagnosed on Tuesday.
The coefficient of infection stands at 0.88, an increase of 0.02 compared to yesterday.
