Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at the opening of the Corona Cabinet that the level of infection in Israel is among the highest in the world.
"This is the bad news. The good news is that for the last two weeks or so, we're at a 'plateau.'"
"The two additional figures - the net number of seriously ill, is increasing slowly, not in a way that challenges the system, and we hear this from health officials participating in the discussion. The second thing, is that the number of fatalities is increasing. In the past week the number was 68 and it is increasing, and it could increase to large numbers."
