Deputy Director-General of Israel’s Health Ministry, Prof. Itamar Grotto, told Army Radio on Thursday morning that “we will consider whether and for how long to extend the lockdown â at the moment we do not see a stabilization or a decrease in morbidity.”
You can say that again. The Health Ministry’s data for Thursday morning included 9,388 new verified cases of Covid-19, based on 121,485 test results obtained Wednesday. As of Thursday morning, there are 1,063 severe patients, out of whom 273 are on respirators. The death rate from the pandemic has risen to 3,826. On the vaccination front, 1,934,685 Israelis have received the first round of vaccines, and 104,346 have received the second round.
