The number of new coronavirus reported daily rose to the highest level in a month, after falling sharply from late January through February.
A total of 14,460 new cases of the virus were diagnosed across Israel Monday, according to data released by Israel’s Health Ministry Tuesday.
A day earlier, 12,929 cases were diagnosed, with just 7,801 new cases reported Saturday and 7,125 on Friday.
The percentage of tests coming back positive has also risen recently, with 16.64% of all tests taken Monday returning positive. A week ago, just 10.96% of tests came back positive.
The infection coefficient rose to 1.33, indicating the virus is expanding, and at an accelerating pace, after crossing the 1.00 threshold a week ago.
