Yesterday the Health Ministry in Israel reported that the official death toll has increased to 2,494. There are currently 11,914 active cases of Covid-19 in the country. The number of patients in serious condition now stands at 464, of whom 199 are ventilated.

To date, MDA sampled 4,425 travellers who returned to Israel from abroad at a special stand in Ben Gurion airport.

In addition, MDA Paramedics have taken 3,000 serological tests, and evacuated thousands of confirmed patients from their home last for hospitalization

MDA's 101 Emergency Call Centres also show a significant increase in citizen inquiries, which reached 12,700 calls a day this week, an increase of about 210% compared to a routine day.

Along with taking over 2,200,000 of samples for Coronavirus, MDA blood services continue to collect plasma from those who have recovered from the Coronavirus for the treatment of severely ill patients and the production of a passive vaccine. To date, those who have recovered from Coronavirus have donated approximately 9,918 plasma units. 3,104 units have been given to 1,552 Coronavirus patients in moderate and severe condition (2 units each).

MDA is continuing its activity of sampling in cooperation with the Ministry of Health, the Home Front Command and the four HMOs and carrying out verified patients’ transfers to hospitals all in addition to the organisation’s routine and emergency activities.

Due to the high number of #coronavirus cases, new measures have been enfoced in the city of Shoham, allowing seniors to walk in public parks from the morning till 10:00am every day of the week.

In addition, the city asked organisations and youth movements to send volunteers to assist in nurseries. Our MDA youth volunteers happily volunteered to fill the positions in three major nurseries, 4 days of the week!

It’s been a while since the youth groups have been able to get together! We were thrilled to collaborate with HaTzofim Australia and help our young Israeli scouts learn basic First Aid in a fun, interactive and safe way. No scouts were injured during the training🙂 #TrainThemYoung #SavingLives ... See MoreSee Less
