Number of New Corona Infections in Israel Above 6000

95

In Israel, 6275 new corona infections have been detected in the past 24 hours. It is the first time in six months that this number has exceeded 6000. The number of seriously ill corona patients in hospitals rose to 394.

 

Israel energetically embarked on the vaccination campaign early this year and has long faced low infection rates as a result. Currently, 58 percent of the population is fully vaccinated against the coronavirus. However, due to the emergence of the Delta variant, the number of infections is skyrocketing.

The Israeli government previously said that the effectiveness of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine drops significantly after a few months. According to Israel, it would protect 39 percent against infection.

The corona measures were tightened in Israel on Sunday. For example, in many places, a mouth mask is required again, and a vaccination certificate or a negative test is required for every meeting to gain access, also for children. Further measures are not excluded.
