Although the number of tests administered on Saturdays is constantly lower than on other weekdays, the decrease is still significant, as the previous Saturday was reported approximately 783 cases and in the previous case approximately 1,788 cases. The last time Israel registered such a low number of cases was again on a Saturday, but in October.
The R rate, or reproduction rate, also continued to decline, standing at 0.62. The figure reflects how many people infected each coronavirus carrier on average. If the number is lower than 0.8, the disease is considered to decrease. Experts closely monitored the rate to see how lifting restrictions affected the disease’s ability to infect. While currently the vast majority of activities have resumed for at least two weeks, the R is gradually declining.
In addition, only four people succumbed to the virus on Saturday, the lowest daily toll in months. About 6,085 have died from the virus since the start of the pandemic.
Of those infected, 561 were in a serious condition and 199 were on ventilators. The numbers are in line with previous days.
