Over 70 coyote cases in the last 24 hours in Israel
Director General of the Ministry of Health of Israel, Nahman Ash said today that 71.593 Israelis were positive for the coronavirus yesterday, but expressed confidence that many more people have been infected in the past 24 hours - as many as 200.000.
The ministry could not provide an accurate report on the number of newly infected people for three days because computer systems were overloaded, Israeli media reported.
- The numbers of newly infected are huge. "This wave is a challenge for us every step of the way, in testing, quarantine, computer systems, hospitals, the numbers are huge," Ash said.
There are almost 1.600 patients infected with the coronavirus in the hospitals, of which 526 are in serious condition.
Health Ministry officials, meanwhile, are considering lifting green certification requirements and allowing those not fully vaccinated to enter public places and attend events as the rapid spread of the new strain has made the document obsolete. .
