Death toll up to 116, matching highest single day total

The Health Ministry says there are now 11,586 confirmed cases of the coronavirus in Israel.

It says 116 people have died from the disease, an increase of 13 over the last 24-hour period, matching the highest single-day death toll.

183 people are in serious condition and 132 people of them on ventilators, numbers which are nearly identical to a day earlier.

Considering that most of the 13 fatalities were likely on ventilators, the net effect is actually an increase of people on breathing machines, though not a large one.
