The Health Ministry offers a breakdown of virus cases by city.
Jerusalem is the most infected, with 1,424 cases.
Bnei Brak is next, with 1,323.
Tel Aviv-Jaffa is third, with 387.
It’s followed by Ashkelon (207), Petah Tikva (167), Elad (163) Rishon Lezion (149), Beit Shemesh (148), Modiin Illit (145), and Netanya (141).
This is based on Monday’s data.
But per capita, the settlement of Efrat is the most infected, the ministry says, citing figures from Saturday. It has 63 cases.
In second place is Kiryat Yearim, with 33 cases.
Bnei Brak, which is under lockdown, is third.
Kfar Chabad follows, with 37 cases.
Other small towns and settlements, due to their small populations, also make the top 10 list of most infected by population, including: Kochav Hashahar, Neve Daniel, Mizpe Ramon, Kochav Yaakov, Merkaz Shapira, and Migdal Haemek.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
