Israel’s COVID Rate Continues to Soar

Once again, the positivity rate for COVID-19 in Israel is sharply rising, and now stands at 5.38%, the highest it has been in five months. More than 500 patients have been categorized as “severe,” a similar number are in serious condition, and more than 80 are on respirators. Nationwide, officials say some 50,000 Israelis are infected with the disease. The government has placed 1,000 reserve soldiers under the auspices of the Health Ministry to aid in accelerating the campaign to inoculate 40-to-50-year-olds with the third jab and for assistance in testing about 1 million schoolchildren. On Sunday, the ministry’s director-general said he expected the mass number of booster shots to take effect and reverse the trend in serious cases during the coming week, but the total number of new cases is not expected to be lessened. The 60+ injection campaign has resulted in more than half of Israel’s population in that age bracket, or some 866,000, receiving the booster.
