Jerusalem24 – The Israeli government approved, late Tuesday evening, the proposal to extend work in accordance with special emergency instructions, for an additional week, which would allow restrictions on public events.

The rate of occupancy of beds in Corona departments in various hospitals has reached 79%. The Ministry of Health warned that if the transfer of patients whose condition is described as dangerous continues at its current pace, then the quality of medical treatment provided in hospitals may be affected, which may lead to the death of patients.
