At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Israel’s overall deaths per month dropped to the lowest rate in four years, in a curious discrepancy that some experts attributed to reduced surgeries and hospital visits.

Despite the coronavirus, the month of March saw a 12 percent drop in the number of deaths compared to last year and a five percent drop compared to the average monthly rate (4,066) from the past decade.

A total of 3,875 people died in March 2020, compared to 4,398 in March 2019, according to The Times of Israel’s Hebrew-language sister site Zman Yisrael, which cited Interior Ministry statistics. That’s the lowest figure recorded since March 2016.

  1. Probably the sharp drop in road accidents which is unfortunately so prevalent in EY. The weeks of lockdown probably contributed to this.

  2. Less avarot-sins less people are going to die

    No buses Thursday 8:00pm til sun (around)6:00 am= less chillul shabbos in public
    No beaches open= less pritzut-immodest behavior
    Most of time inside house=less eyin harah-frompeople showing off their money,almost no unmodest women on street to look at
    No weddings(or reduced sizes)=no mixed dancing
    No bars,nightclubs=less lewdness,less pritzut, less forbidden relations
    No hotels=less places to go for forbidden relations
    No touching=less touching between men & women that is forbiddened
    Less person to person interactions= less lashon harah(yes,one can speak lashon harah on phone and applications, but it is easier in person, plus people are so occupied with corona, that is the topic of conversations.
    And while there are no shuls, there is no talking in shuls, no disrespectful behavior in shuls
