Health situation improves in Israel

The good news regarding the Covid situation continues with the following:

The COVID picture in Israel continued to improve on Friday, with 1,225 new cases identified in the last 24 hours, 1.9% of the total 63,420 tests processed in that time period.

The reproduction rate was also down, standing at 0.66 – meaning that a single confirmed carrier infects 0.66 other people – compared to 0.68 on Thursday. [...]

The encouraging data comes after the Corona cabinet on Thursday approved bigger crowds for sporting and cultural events. Games, cultural events, and conferences can be held with audiences of up to 3,000 people in closed venues and up to 5,000 in the open air.

More signs that life is hopefully returning to normal here, and hopefully in the rest of the civilized world too.
