The fifth wave? The coefficient of infection increased to 1

by time news

Yesterday, 467 Israelis from Corona were infected. The positive test percentage was 0.7% – similar to the last two days, and higher than last week.

The most alarming news is coming from the direction of the infection coefficient. This number expresses the average number of infected of each verified. That is, if it stands at less than 1, some of the verified have not caught and the epidemic is reduced. But a people is above it – the plague is spreading.

Today, for the first time since the beginning of September (!), He returned to 1. The significance may indicate local eruptions of corona, but perhaps even beyond.

In contrast, severe morbidity indices continue to decline. As of this morning, 126 patients are seriously ill, of whom 87 are respirators. About 85% of them are not vaccinated. 8,154 Israelis have died so far from Corona.
