Of the 91,085 people tested for the virus Monday, 6,622 were confirmed to have the disease, for an infection rate of 7.8%. Since the beginning of the outbreak, approximately 1,060,000 Israelis have been infected.

Israeli currently has 80,183 active cases. There are 738 people in serious conditions, 169 of whom are on ventilators.

Meanwhile, over 5.97 million Israelis have received at least one dose of the coronavirus vaccine, while over 5.48 million have received two doses. Over 2 million have received a recently approved third booster shot.

From Oct. 1, Israelis will need to have either recovered from the virus, received a third dose of the vaccine or a second dose less than six months ago, or be able to provide a recent negative coronavirus test result to be eligible for the green pass program allowing entry into restaurants, hotels, and other venues.

Officials have said they are seeing signs the third dose is beginning to have an impact on the high infection and severe illness rates fueled by the fast-spreading Delta variant.
