Although the number of exams administered on Saturdays is consistently lower than on other days of the week, the decrease remains significant, since on the previous Saturday 783 cases were reported and on the previous about 1,878. The last time Israel recorded such a low number of cases was again on a Saturday, but in October.
The R rate, or reproduction rate, also continued to decline, standing at 0.62. The figure reflects how many people each coronavirus carrier infects on average. When the number is less than 0.8, the disease is considered to be decreasing. Experts have been closely monitoring the rate to see how lifting the restrictions affected the disease’s ability to infect. Although currently the vast majority of activities have been resumed for at least two weeks, the R is steadily falling.
In addition, only four people succumbed to the virus on Saturday, the lowest daily rate in months. About 6,085 have succumbed to the virus since the pandemic began.
Of those infected, 561 were in serious condition and 199 were on ventilators. The numbers are in line with the previous days.
