3 Israeli coronavirus epicenters see infection rates drop

Three epicenters of coronavirus outbreaks in Israel see dramatic reductions in infection rates, according to Health Ministry statistics.

The Israeli Arab towns of Hura and Deir al-Assad, ranked first and second in infection rates in recent weeks, are both seeing a continued slowing of that rate, the ministry says. Just five confirmed cases were found in Hura over the past three days, and none in Deir al-Assad.

In third-place, the ultra-Orthodox town of Bnei Brak saw just 13 new cases over the past three days, according to the ministry.
