There are currently 464 people in hospital in Israel, 1,509 people being treated at home, 410 in a specially designated hotel and the rest awaiting a decision on how they will be treated.

Israelis were instructed Thursday to remain at home with emergency measures in place for a period of seven days.

Officials warn that a complete lock-down will be imposed if there is no indication of a decline in the number of new cases reported.

Health Ministry No. 2 Prof. Itamar Grotto told Ynet on Friday that the numbers of fatalities and of seriously ill patients was "not as bad as we feared."

Grotto, who has been advocating for a complete lockdown on the poplulation, said that the more measures imposed by the government are observed the better of Israel will be.

Meanwhile, a newly appointed Knesset oversight committee has reported a concerning shortage in ventilators.
