Israel’s coronavirus czar said Tuesday that 20% of recent coronavirus cases have been registered within the Haredi province, which it fears could worsen over the upcoming Jewish holidays.
Prof. Nachman Ash said that not only does the ultra-orthodox sector make up a large proportion of the total number of diseases, the level of infection in the community is much higher than the national average.

“Despite a reduction in infection within the region, the rate of improvement in ultra-Orthodox cities is close to 20%,” he said. “Despite the decline, the disease remains worrying and it is at about 20% of the total [recent] issues, double the overall population ratio. “
“Rejoice while enjoying the holiness of life. There is no need to pay [for celebrations] in people’s lives. Everyone should take care of themselves, their family and friends and not be careless. We all remember the wave of diseases after Purim last year. “
It also shook large funerals that took place in Jerusalem recently, in which thousands of ultra-rectangular members took part in the middle of the lock across the country and a rise in new COVID mutations in the country.
“My heart feels with the knowledge that such funerals bring more funerals. I understand the need and importance, but the consequences of those acts need to be thought about,” he said.
