Number of new corona infections in Israel higher than 11,000

A new high in the number of newly infected people was registered in Israel the day after school started. Experts had warned against it.

Tel Aviv – The number of new corona infections in Israel has risen to its highest level since the beginning of the pandemic. The Ministry of Health announced on Thursday that 11,187 new cases had been registered.

The new high was published the day after school started – experts had warned that this could further fuel the infection process. It is the third day in a row with more than 10,000 new cases in Israel. At the same time, the number of seriously ill people has fallen steadily and is around half the value in January.

Experts emphasize the Biontech / Pfizer vaccine continues to be effective in preventing serious illness and death. Extrapolated to 100,000 inhabitants, the number of corona diseases in Israel in all age groups among the unvaccinated is many times higher than among the vaccinated. This is especially true for seriously ill people over 60.

Since the end of July, the country has been the first in the world to administer third vaccinations against Corona, more than 25 percent of the approximately 9.4 million citizens have already received them. The background to the decision to have a third vaccination are figures from the Ministry of Health, according to which the effectiveness of the vaccination has declined sharply since the beginning of June. More than 59 percent of citizens are vaccinated twice. dpa
