10,202 people have been diagnosed positive for Corona in the last day - according to data from the Ministry of Health published today (Monday). This is a verified record since April 4th.168 patients are hospitalized in critical condition - a 95% jump within a week. The total number of infections in the last week has also jumped by 55%, and stands at more than 55,000.
The rate of positive tests stands at 39% - almost the highest since the outbreak of the plague, explained by the fact that only patients are tested. There was also a slight increase in the adhesion coefficient of infection is 1.32.
Yesterday, the director-general of the Ministry of Health, Prof. Nachman Ash, agreed that Israel is at the beginning of a "new wave", but emphasized that at this stage the ministry hopes that it will be possible to pass it without special restrictions.
"We're careful with terminology because we had something like this a month or so ago - there was an increase and very quickly it went down," Ash told 103FM. Calling it by its name, I think you can start calling it a new wave. " He confirmed that the Ministry of Health identifies an increase in verified data and also in morbidity and hospitalizations, but not in mortality, and said that prior to the current data, it is "more or less" as dangerous as the Omicron strain.
47,301 people are defined, as of this morning, verified blue in Corona, 147 severely ill. Eight people infected with corona have died in the past week, and their total number since the onset of the plague stands at 10,896.
Meanwhile, the epidemic treatment team will convene this coming Tuesday to discuss vaccinations for toddlers and young children, from the age of six months to the age of five. This is after the vaccine was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The Association of Pediatricians is expected to recommend the administration of the vaccine, and not just support the opening of the possibility for those interested.
Last Wednesday, the FDA unanimously recommended vaccinating infants from the age of six months against the corona virus in a vaccine of modern companies and Pfizer. In studies conducted prior to the committee discussion, no serious side effects were recorded among the vaccinated children.
Following this, pediatric vaccinations in the United States are expected to begin as early as this week. "We know that millions of parents and caregivers are eager to vaccinate their young children, and now they can do it," said Rochelle Wolensky, head of the United States Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
Corona is usually a milder disease in children. Still, since March 2020, it has been the fifth leading cause of death for children ages 1-4 in the United States, and the fourth leading cause of death for infants less than a year old, before the center data.
