The Corona Cabinet is convening following the continued increase in Corona morbidity, and after the discussion that took place yesterday ended without agreements on concrete restrictions. Prime Minister Naftali Bennett clarified that in light of the data collected so far on morbidity - the government will strive to protect citizens while maintaining routine and minimal damage to the economy.
"We will try to be as transparent as possible," Bennett said at the opening of the cabinet meeting. "We will explain to the public what we are doing, and we will try to give a long notice in advance before moves and allow. That is, instead of closing or banning and explaining what not, we will explain how yes, as much as possible."
During the day the Ministry of Health announced that 521 verified corona virus had been diagnosed, and that this was the second day in a row that the number of verified had crossed the 500 mark.
The spread of the Delta strain, the Indian strain of the corona virus in Israel, has led to a new wave of disease that is spreading rapidly in Israel, especially in children and adolescents. In the past week, there have been about 1,546 new positive cases of the corona virus, with 43 percent of them among children aged 10-19. The increase in morbidity is also reflected in the infection of vaccinated adults due to the high but not absolute effectiveness of the vaccine in preventing infection with the Delta strain, which is the most contagious identified to date.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Health has reported that there has been a decline in the effectiveness of the corona virus vaccine. An epidemiological analysis of public health services at the Ministry of Health shows that there is a decrease in the effectiveness of the vaccine in preventing infection to 64% and in preventing disease with symptoms to 64% as well. The decline was observed simultaneously with the spread of the Delta variant in Israel.
Viruses - viruses, including the corona virus, mutate constantly, some of which are harmful to the virus and others help its survival. For example, some mutations make the virus more contagious and stronger. When the virus passes to another person, the mutation replicates and spreads on its own and if it succeeds and continues to infect others and spread - it becomes a variant. Unvaccinated people actually provide the virus with many more opportunities to infect and replicate.
"When mutations happen in viruses, the ones that survive are usually the mutations that make the virus more contagious and make it easier to spread in the population. Every time the virus changes, it gives it a new platform to add more and more mutations. Now we see viruses spreading much more efficiently," Andrew explained.
