Netanyahu: Israel’s morbidity rate one of world’s highest, but we’re on a plateau
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAt the beginning of a weekly meeting of the so-called coronavirus cabinet, a forum of ministers dealing with the pandemic, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says “the bad news” is that Israel’s morbidity rate per capita is one of the world’s highest.
“The good news is that over the past two weeks or so we’ve been on a plateau” as far as infection rates are concerned, he says.
But illness could yet rise “to numbers we won’t be able to handle,” he adds.
“Concurrently with building the ability to cut off transmission chains, we must lower the number of patients.”
