Zero daily Covid deaths reported in Israel for first time in 10 months
Latest figures showed the death toll remained unchanged at 6,346 as the Jewish state heads towards heard immunity with 5 million vaccinated
No daily Covid deaths were reported in Israel last week for the first time in 10 months..
In data released last Friday, the death toll remained unchanged from the day before, standing at 6,346.
The last date there were no new fatalities was 29 June, when morbidity levels remained subdued following the initial coronavirus wave.
The ministry said of the 35,027 tests performed last Thursday that 129 new cases were recorded, a positive test rate of 0.4 percent.
The country has logged 837,870 confirmed infections since the start of the pandemic.
The number of active infections fell to 1,897, with 160 patients in serious condition, including 97 on ventilators. Israel has been pushing forward with its vaccination drive.
While life in Israel has returned to normal and hopes are high that Britain is set for a summer without restrictions thanks to vaccines, for billions around the world there is no such imminent light at the end of the tunnel. In the majority of countries around the globe, particularly the poorest, the vaccine rollout has barely kicked off.
That's why Jewish News, the leading source of news and opinion for the entire UK community, is throwing its full weight behind UNICEF’s VaccinAid campaign by using this platform usually reserved for encouraging donations towards our own journalism to instead urge our readers around the globe to perform the greatest mitzvah: saving a life.
