According to data from the Ministry of Health from this morning (Monday), in recent days 527,233 Israelis have been diagnosed as positive for Corona and have not yet recovered. 187,867 people are in solitary confinement, many of them students - before changing guidelines. Since the outbreak of the plague, 8,447 patients have died in Israel from the complications of the virus - 11 of them yesterday. On Saturday, 20 corona patients died - the highest daily number in the fifth wave. Since the beginning of the month, 196 corona patients have died in Israel. In the last day, 67,198 positive people have been infected with the coronavirus. The proportion of subjects was 29.63% - almost one in three subjects.
2,181 are hospitalized, including 783 critically ill - an increase of about 200 patients in one day - and 144 respirators. The death toll from the plague rose to 8,447.
Vaccine numbers continue to be low. Yesterday, 1,038 Israelis received the first vaccine, after only 303 people received it on Saturday. Since the abolition of the green mark, there has been a sharp decline in the number of vaccinators. Yesterday, 2,769 Israelis received the booster vaccine, and on Saturday, the third vaccine received 981 people.
There is only one green settlement in Israel - Bir Hadaj. Eight localities are yellow, three orange and the rest red. In Jerusalem, 41,463 active patients (positive for Corona who have not yet been defined as recovering), in Tel Aviv-Yafo 24,054, in Petah Tikva 17,238, in Rishon Lezion 14,587, in Be'er Sheva 13,896, in Haifa 13,339, in Netanya 12,338, in Ashdod 11,235 and in Holon 10,857.
According to a research body from Oxford University, Israel is ranked second in the world in the number verified relative to the population in the last seven days. Only the Faroe Islands, with less than 50,000 inhabitants, are ahead of Israel. However, if the Faroe Islands are considered part of Denmark - in the overall weighting as published in the New York Times, Israel is the country that ranks first, and Denmark second. After Israel and Denmark are Andorra, France, Slovenia, Portugal, the Seychelles, San Marino, Gibraltar, Greenland, Iceland, the Maldives and Belgium.
Against the background of the increase in the number of patients with Corona, the Director General of the Ministry of Health, Prof. Nachman Ash, instructed the hospitals to prepare for the opening of additional wards as well as to prepare for hospitalization in non-Corona intensive care units. From the hospitals, he will instruct individually on the cessation of elective activity.
Component of the Weizmann Institute's Corona Prediction Model, Prof. Eran Segal, told Ynet that Israel is currently reaching the peak of the Omicron wave: "I think there are some signs that a decline in morbidity is expected this week. "The age of 60, with whom the outline of the tests has not changed. Another sign has slowed down the number of verified. We are talking about more than 2.5 million infected, which is another sign that we are likely to start seeing the decline. We are still spreading, but the pace is much slower."
According to him, the peak days of the wave are the most dangerous in terms of the chance of infection: "The nature of exponential spread is such that in the last doubling - we are in the process - the number of people infected Plague".
In the third wave we were with 1,200 seriously ill patients in the hospitals, today there are 800 and an increase of about a week is expected. I think the health care system will be able to deal with that. We are not in a horror scenario of thousands of seriously ill patients. "" At the beginning of the wave, we estimated that between two and four million would be infected. I think we will be at the top of this estimate - about four million. Maybe even a little more. "
The Cabinet of Experts on Saturday recommended not to renew the Green Charter regulations. They claim that the booster dose of the vaccine protects well against a serious illness, but not against infection with the micron, and therefore concentrations in its green label are not safe enough. The Cabinet also recommended maintaining the green mark in combination with antigen tests at sites where populations at risk reside.
The cabinet also recommended allowing at-risk populations to protect themselves from infection in the coming weeks by giving them the option to avoid going to work at the expense of annual sick days (without a doctor's permit), and their children to avoid going to school (without a doctor's permit).
