Tel Aviv faces a rise in Corona cases, partly due to foreign workers

First, it was neighboring Bnei Brak and its Haredi populace who had come down with the Corona disease. Now, it's Tel Aviv facing the same resurging problem, albeit there, many of those said to have the illness now are foreign workers, and potentially illegal immigrants in the south end:
This past week, 129 new cases of coronavirus have been identified in Tel Aviv, according to a report from the Corona National Information and Knowledge Center operated by the Health Ministry and the IDF. The figures are updated to June 8.

The report notes that 66 of the new cases were identified among the city's population of foreign laborers, who have no official status in Israel. Most of the new carriers were aged 20-49 and most of them live in south Tel Aviv.

Over 2% of coronavirus tests conducted on residents of Tel Aviv come back positive, and the weekly attack rate (a measure of how quickly the virus spreads) in the city stands 2.49, which is higher than the national average.

Another city that is giving public health officials cause for concern is Safed, which unlike Tel Aviv, is home to a large Haredi population. The number of cases in Safed rose from two to 11 this past week. Safed has been labeled a "red city," which means that it is one stage before becoming subject to localized quarantine and other strict restrictions.
I see Safed's now also facing what Bnei Brak did. But if it matters, depending how you view this, Tel Aviv's residents have made some of the same mistakes as the Satmar-variety Haredi population did, and now, this whole crisis could take longer to solve, which is sad.

This also shows how illegal immigrants, whom the high court's protected, are proving a serious problem health-wise, and it's got to be dealt with somehow.

About me

  • I'm Avi Green

  • I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
