The number of new infesses Coronavirus in Israel fell below 200 cases per day, the share of positive tests on COVID-19 decreased to a record low 0.3%, reports The Jerusalem POST with reference to the country’s data from April 14.
Previously, Israel recorded that the total number of active cases of coronavirus disease in the country decreased to 3,890 is the lowest figure from June 2020.
After in January 2021, thanks to the agreement with Pfizer, Israel began to vaccinate the population faster in the world, the vaccine already received 5.3 million people – more than half of the inhabitants. Another 830 thousand people were silent by Coronavirus – this means that about 68% of the country’s population could already obtain immunity to the disease in one form or another, BBC notes.
The achievement of a collective immunity country can be the “only explanation” of the fact that the number of cases of the disease continued to decline even after a gradual removal of Lokdanun in Israel started in February, leads the BBC of the words of Professor Eyal Leshema, the head of the Country Medical Center, the largest hospital of the country. / P>
In favor of this, the fact that the number of cases of the disease falls in all age groups, including minors, even though children under 16 are not vaccinated, he noticed.
The fact that the country may have reached a “kind of collective immunity”, Ehran Segal, computing biologist from Weitman’s Science Institute, who is considered the leading coronavirus expert in Israel: It is headed by a scientific group that analyzes the data for the local Ministry of Health. If so, Israel can become the first state in the world to reach the turn of collective immunity, he added.
did not contribute to the growth of morbidity and the fact that recently people massively collected together to celebrate Purim and Pesach, stated Segal. The number of cases falls even though the country dominates a much more infectious “British” version of the virus: according to the Ministry of Health, since February 2021 it accounts for more than 90% of the identified cases of the disease in Israel.
