Some 1,388 have recovered from the disease, according to the latest Health Ministry figures.
Israelis age 60 and over account for some 75% of the serious COVID-19 cases in Israel while half of Israeli coronavirus fatalities are over age 80, data shows.
A recent report by Israel's National Security Council cautioned against lifting the restrictions imposed on public life too soon, saying it could trigger another outbreak and the collapse of the public healthcare system.
According to the report, the main precondition for gradually resuming economic activity is a drop in the infection rate to 10 new cases a day.
Also on Sunday, the government approved emergency regulations mandating that all arrivals through Israel's Ben-Gurion International Airport enter immediate state-controlled quarantine.
The Defense Ministry has been tasked with the full responsibility for the matter, which until now fell to the Health Ministry.
Saturday evening saw ministers impose a lockdown on ultra-Orthodox neighborhoods in Jerusalem with high coronavirus infection rates. The order will go into effect on Sunday at noon until April 15.
