JERUSALEM, June 13 (Xinhua) -- The number of COVID-19 patients in serious condition in Israel decreased to 30 on Sunday, Israel's Ministry of Health said.
This is the lowest number of patients in serious condition in Israel since June 8, 2020 when it also stood at 30. On January 26, the figure stood at a record high of 1,181.
The ministry also reported three new coronavirus cases, bringing the tally of confirmed cases in Israel to 839,664.
The death toll from the virus rose by two to 6,430 in Israel, while the number of hospitalized patients dropped from 61 to 55.
The number of recoveries rose to 833,028, with 17 new ones, while the number of active cases dropped to 206.
The number of people vaccinated against COVID-19 in Israel reached nearly 5.48 million, or 58.8 percent of its total population.
On Monday, Israel will lift the ban on travel to Turkey, Ethiopia and Ukraine, the ministry said.
The decision was taken by the Israeli government following the recent sharp decline in COVID-19 cases in the three countries.
However, the travel ban from Israel to India, South Africa, Mexico, Brazil, Russia and Argentina will still not be lifted. Israeli citizens and permanent residents who want to travel to the six countries must apply to an exceptions committee.
