Edelstein on the rise in morbidity: “We need to reach a full closure in the State of Israel”

Health Minister Edelstein said in a statement: “We have now held an emergency meeting here at the UAV with senior Magen Israel and senior officials of the ministry. The government is convening a few more hours for a meeting in my opinion perhaps the most important since it was established. We want to build a bridge between today .

“We will be able to build this bridge on one condition, which we will not play as if. We need to reach a full closure in the State of Israel. No work other than essential. With a closed education system, with zero crowds. Only in this situation can we go through the new outbreak.” Immunized, “Edelstein said.

“You understand very well the price of doing nothing in this matter, it’s many hundreds more dead, thousands of seriously ill and tens of thousands verified. I remind you that the government made the decision to close the Tishrei days that we were with 2,900 verified per day. Today we have counted more than 8,000 verified. “Think about the implications of this matter for the health system, for the exhausted medical staff, for the HMOs, whom we praise for the vaccination campaign, these are the same nurses and doctors who will have to deal with tens of thousands of patients alongside the vaccination campaign,” Minister Edelstein added.

He went on to say that “it is possible to get out of this, if we put aside all the irrelevant considerations, if we remember that the country still has its mutual guarantee, I suggest that everyone think what their personal responsibility is, and how to get out of this trouble. “Countries that we like to get an example from in the normal years, we do not want to be like them this time. It is always darkest before dawn, we will continue the vaccination campaign and we will reach a safe shore, we will come if everyone works together.”

The last time such a high number of infections per day was verified was in the midst of the second wave, on September 30, when 9,065 patients were diagnosed per day. It should also be noted that the number of infections verified yesterday made Monday one of the days with the highest number of diagnoses since the outbreak of the plague. As of this morning, there are 55,312 active patients in the country and in the hospitals 1,361 people are hospitalized, of whom 764 are patients with a severely defined condition. Since the outbreak of the plague, 3,445 people have died in Israel.

At the same time, the ministry released data on the “give a shoulder” vaccination campaign and updated that as of yesterday, almost 146 people had been vaccinated against the corona virus. According to data published this morning, 145,684,000 people were vaccinated yesterday, with the number of Israelis receiving the first vaccine dose since the beginning of the operation standing at 1,370,000 vaccinated. In the shadow of the success of the vaccination campaign in Israel, the American pharmaceutical company Modern confirmed tonight that “first shipments are expected to begin in January.”

As mentioned, the American pharmaceutical company Modern announced during the night between Monday and Tuesday that the Ministry of Health in Israel has approved its vaccine against the corona virus. The company statement said that “Israel’s Ministry of Health has promised six million doses and initial deliveries are expected to begin in January.” Because the company’s vaccine requires two injections to be fully effective within four weeks, three million vaccines were actually promised. This is a breakthrough in contacts with the pharmaceutical company in light of the assessment that the first shipment will not be launched until March.
