Israel has announced nearly 11,000 new coronavirus cases in a day, a new record since the pandemic broke out – despite the country's world-leading vaccination campaign. There were 10,947 new Covid cases registered in the past day, the Health Ministry said. The latest figure is higher than the previous record, dating back to mid-January, when officials announced some 10,100 cases. Fewer tests were being carried out at the time, however. More than 1 million infections have been reported in Israel, a nation of 9.4 million.
