Grim predictions about the current "peak" of the outbreak of the corona epidemic in Israel: Professor Gabi Barbash, former director general of the Ministry of Health and CEO of Ichilov, said in News 12 that "there are now estimated to be between 45,000 and 90,000 patients in Israel who are unaware of it, and in the evening Passover will have 80,000 verified patients. " Worldwide, there has been a steep rise in deaths from the Corona virus: within five days, the number of dead in the world has more than doubled, from 10,000 to 21,000.

At this time, five Corona patients have passed away in Israel, and there are 2,369 confirmed patients, of whom 39 are in serious condition, 64 are in moderate condition and the remainder in mild condition. 1,058 of the ill-treated patients are in their homes, and 281 in special hotels converted to housing light corona patients. 64 Corona patients recovered and released to their home.
Another point that worries the health system's leaders: "Import" of Corona sick Israelis from abroad. In recent days, between 1,000 and 3,000 Israelis from abroad, mainly from the United States and France - Corona-beaten countries are returning. From past experience, many of these travelers May carry the virus.
PM Netanyahu said in a special statement: "The steps we are taking are taking place all over the world, but not enough - the number of patients is doubling every three days and we may find ourselves with thousands of patients at risk of death. We may need to complete closure, we will make all preparations To that end, we have issued emergency regulations for the coming days that reduce attendance in the public sphere. Stay at home, must stay at home. Stay at home stay alive. The danger does not differentiate between a frank person, a skullcap and a bakery wearer, everyone must obey. "

We may need to complete closure, we make all preparations for this, we have issued emergency regulations "Staying at home must stay at home. Staying at home staying alive. The danger does not differentiate between the outspoken, the skull-wearing and the baking-wearer, everyone must obey."
Over the past few hours, the 45-year-old patient's condition has been deteriorating for several days in the intensive care unit at the Wolfson Hospital. Due to the deterioration of his condition, the patient is connected to the Acmo machine, a machine that temporarily replaces heart and lung function, in order to stabilize it. As noted in previous reports, this is a patient without any serious background disease and who does not smoke.
Dr. Arie Soroksky, Director of the Intensive Care and Intensive Care Unit of Corona Patients in Wolfson, and Dr. Hagai Dekel, Director of the Department of Cardiovascular and Acu, said that "despite a slight improvement in his morning condition, the patient's clinical condition later deteriorated. And now our teams are fighting for his life. "
