An unvaccinated 28-year-old corona patient is hospitalized in critical condition in the General Intensive Care Unit at Hillel Yaffe Hospital after giving birth to a baby by caesarean section.
The hospital said that she was breathing and anesthetized, and that her condition was difficult but stable.
The baby is in very good condition, hospitalized and treated in infancy.
Dr. Miki Dodkevitz, director of the Hillel Yaffe Medical Center, said: "I hope that we are indeed in the braking stage of the current wave.
The workload in our corona wards is still noticeable, as is the internal wards.
A significant proportion of those hospitalized in the corona wards are not vaccinated, and accordingly the morbidity is more severe.
Go get vaccinated. "
In hospitals across the country, 25 pregnant women are currently hospitalized, and another 26 are certified mothers in Corona, among them one respirator.
As you may recall, a 30-year-old mother died yesterday, an unvaccinated corona patient who gave birth to a healthy baby a week ago, and after the birth she was hospitalized in the Corona ward in fair condition at the Emek Medical Center in Afula.
On Tuesday, her condition deteriorated rapidly and it was decided to transfer her to the Corona Intensive Care Unit in Carmel for further treatment, including weighing a connection to the Acmo device.
Her condition continued to deteriorate rapidly and despite the doctors' efforts to save her she passed away.
According to data from the Ministry of Health, 3,241 Israelis have been diagnosed as positive since yesterday, out of about 60,000 tests performed, with a positive percentage of 5.44%.
In hospitals across the country, 1,120 corona patients are hospitalized, 673 of them in critical condition, of whom 154 are connected to respirators.
