The Coronavirus contagion rate in Israel rose to %1.38 after Israel reported over 700 new cases this week. The Delta variant is responsible for many “breakthrough” illness in fully-vaccinated patients. It is reportedly 50% more contagious than previous mutations, and makes people more sick once infected. What is particularly concerning is the rise in seriously ill patients who require hospital treatment. Please continue to pray for wisdom for Israeli officials as they handle this new round of infection. Pray also that those infected will fully heal. Lastly, please pray that Israelis will work together to keep the contagion from spreading, especially among children who are quite vulnerable.
