The number of serious cases slightly increased in Israel, but still remained low and currently stands at 54, of whom 17 are in critical condition and 16 on ventilators. Israel has 5,372 active cases and 6,443 people have died from the virus so far.
While over the past month new daily cases have spiked and serious cases have risen, the daily increase in infections is still lower than the Health Ministry's forecast from roughly two weeks ago, which anticipated that Israel would face 600 new coronavirus cases a day within a week, and 1,000 a day in 10 days.
