207 virus cases confirmed Saturday as testing rate drops over weekend
Just 207 coronavirus cases were identified in Israel yesterday, the Health Ministry updates, although that is a result of far lower testing rates on weekends.
Figures by the ministry say that 2.6% of the 8,045 test results that came back throughout Saturday were positive. (The previous few days had 30,000-40,000 daily tests)
There are 8,638 active cases in the country as the total tally reaches 319,022.
Of them, 319 are in serious condition, including 143 on ventilators. Another 92 are in moderate condition and the rest have mild or no symptoms.
The death toll remains at 2,664.
