New daily COVID-19 cases hit a new record on Wednesday, while the number of serious cases patients continued to drop amid the country’s ongoing mass drive to give booster vaccine shots.

According to Health Ministry data published Thursday morning, 11,187 new cases were diagnosed the day before, slightly surpassing the previous record of 11,133 reached on Monday.

The rate of positive tests was 7.92 percent, the highest in the current wave but lower than in January, when it reached 10%, and in September 2020, when it reached 15%. The record daily numbers came due to more tests — 142,636 on Wednesday — being conducted than in the past.

The number of serious cases — increasingly seen as a more crucial metric since vaccines are more effective in preventing serious illness than in preventing infections — stood at 666. On Sunday, that number was at 753.

Among those aged 60 and up, the rate of serious cases per capita was more than 15 times greater for the unvaccinated than for the vaccinated.

  1. 90% of stupid people who take the test are tested positive – all made up to bring the numbers higher while covid wards in hospitals are basically empty and nurses are send home for lack of work.

  2. “Israel no longer considers people who have received 2 Pfizer/BioNTech vaccines “vaccinated.” As of September 1, only 3x vaccinated are considered immune.”
    Now you understand why they say that all the deaths were from the non-vaccinated.
