In Israel, 5.1 million people, among its population of 9.3 million, have received the required double dose of vaccinations. In the past two weeks, the ministry recorded only one. Though worrying, the trend still shows little uptick when it comes to deaths from the virus. Prime Minister Naftali Bennett on Tuesday announced a drive to inoculate thousands of children by mid-month.

ItвЂ™s now seen as an early-warning system of sorts for other nations. In recent months, Israel has reopened businesses, schools and event venues, lifting nearly all restrictions after it inoculated some 85% of the adult population. The health ministry reportedly expects those numbers to jump in coming days, raising concerns that Israel is plunging back toward a crisis.

The Health Ministry on Thursday reported 307 new cases on Wednesday, the highest in nearly three months and a rise from 293 newly-diagnosed cases a day earlier. TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) - Israel, a world leader in coronavirus vaccinations, reported its highest daily infection rate in three months as it scrambles to contain the spread of the new delta variant.ДЄuthorities are racing to vaccinate children and are considering tighter travel restrictions at the countryвЂ™s main airport.
