The epidemic situation in Israel is becoming more and more worrying. On average, 8 thousand people there are infected with the coronavirus every day. At the same time, the R index is also growing. As the local health minister admits, the fourth wave is definitely more intense than the previous three.
- Currently, the R index in Israel has already exceeded 1, which means that one person can infect more and more people
- In recent days, between 150 and 190 inhabitants of Israel were under respirators

Israel is recording further increases in coronavirus disease. In recent days, the whole world is looking in this direction, because Israel was the leader in vaccination against COVID-19. And it was there that it was first said that the pandemic was over.
As you can see from the statistics, it was an exaggerated statement. The fourth wave has already hit Israel, and its scale is, according to the local health minister, much larger than all the previous ones. Such records were not recorded during the first or the second wave of the pandemic in Israel.

The daily numbers are highly disturbing – they exceed 10 almost every day. new infections. The average for the last few days is 8. new cases.
However, Israel’s problems do not end with infections alone. There is also concern about the increasing reproductive rate of the virus (R index). In recent days, this one has exceeded 1. This means that more and more people get infected from one sick person. This makes sense given that the Delta variant is currently predominant in Israel, and this one is known to be highly infectious.
The rest of the text is below the video.
The condition of some patients infected with the Delta variant may also be worrying. Most of them have relatively easy disease (mainly due to immunization-induced immunity), but the number of severely infected remains at 670-700. According to the Israeli health minister, 70-80 patients seriously ill from the coronavirus arrive every day.
The bad news from Israel does not stop there. During the last 10 days, 150 to 190 patients were ventilated, and 23 to 31 required ECMO, a type of lung replacement prosthesis.
At the same time, Israeli coronavirus expert Salman Zarka admitted that 50 percent. of all confirmed cases of COVID-19 on Monday, September 13 were children.

Considering that Israel is a kind of pandemic pioneer, careful observation of the development of the situation in this country may also be a hint for Poland. Israeli citizens got vaccinated faster than Poles, and now they are also giving the third dose to all 12 years of age.
In Poland, the vaccination rate is falling, and there is no question of giving a “booster” to adolescents and adults at the moment. Therefore, we must take into account not only the increases in infections that are currently affecting Israel, but also the greater number of severely ill patients who are protected against by COVID-19 vaccines.
Meanwhile, the epidemic situation in Poland is getting worse every day. On September 15, a record increase in the number of infections was recorded. There were 767 of them. The last time the result below 700 was recorded on May 29, when Poland was still facing the third wave caused by the Alfa variant. Comparing the data from September 15 and August 15, you can see that there was an increase of over 400% during the month. (On August 15, there were only 148 new cases).
As Deputy Minister of Health Waldemar Kraska stated, at this stage we are no longer talking about yellow, but about red warning light. In the coming weeks, we can expect a significant increase in the number of infections, including those with a severe course.
