Director General of the Ministry of Health, Dr. Nachman Ash, said today (Tuesday) that the Knesset Constitution Committee in recent days downward trend in morbidity was arrested. He said that although there was an increase in morbidity following the holidays and back to school, office expected more significant reduction in morbidity at this point.

"Before For a week we have been on a clear downward trend, in recent days we are seeing a stop in the downturn, and the infection rate is above 1, "said Ash." We are on average with over 8,000 verified per day. There are days like yesterday with ten thousand verified - this is a number that has never been in previous waves. The number of severe patients ranges from 700-670. The number of new severe patients - between 80-70 per day - is a slight decrease. We are with 190 respiratory patients.

"" We do not see an increase in morbidity following the holidays and studies, but we hope to see the decrease in morbidity. "I hoped we would see a clearer decline, but we do not see it yet," he added.

Ash further said that it was decided to eliminate the need for his green daughter for pools that are not closed, noting that one of the reasons for this is "the great burden on parents and children".

Corona projector Prof. Salman Zarka noted that 50% of those verified yesterday are children, saying the ministry’s working assumption is that it is necessary to prepare for the fifth wave of the plague as well.

"In the morbidity data we are in, and in light of the start of the school year and holidays, I would like to have fewer gatherings - like a panjuia, an artist or football games. The cabinet sees things differently and disagrees with us and decides that events do take place," Zarqa said.

"Our working assumption is to prepare for the fifth wave with the help of the continuation of the green mark. When a person enters a restaurant only of vaccinated he is at a lower risk," he added.

"As the morbidity goes down we will continue to alleviate in more places. I hope we will go through September and stabilize in October. Then we will re-examine the policy."
