They said “new data” would be released in the coming days, “but to the extent that we don’t have a breakdown of what instances they are and which from a previous period. “
A technical challenge was blamed that caused confusion about the effects of old and new checks, and the spokesman stated that this would report cases over several days. “This challenge does not affect others who receive the effects of their Covid-19 check. people who tested positive won the result of their Covid-19 control in general,” they added.
All deferred effects refer to known cases between 24 September and 1 October.
“The challenge will be the total number of new instances published in the Covid-19 leaderboard in the coming days, which will be updated to provide accurate fully awareness of the total number of positive instances during this period,” the spokesman added.

This means that the total reported over the next few days will arrive with a few more instances of the era between September 24 and October 1, expanding the number of instances reported.

Thousands of Israelis protested across the country on Saturday, ignoring a new law aimed at reducing protests against the government and a new national coronavirus blockade.
The street protests, just 3 days after parliament passed a decree to restrict the scope of the protests, pressured Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for his handling of the coronavirus crisis and for allegations of corruption, which he denies.
The new law prohibits Israelis from making demonstrations more than a mile (about a mile) from their homes and imposes stricter social estating, a move the government said aims to reduce infections in Covid-19.
Critics have this blow to freedom of expression.
Most of the protests on Saturday night were modest and dispersed across the country, a crowd of thousands accumulating in Tel Aviv.
A small number of protesters clashed with police and tried to block the streets of the city. Approximately 15 other people were arrested, a police spokesman said, according to Reuters.
Israel has shut down much of its economy and called on others to stay within a mile of their homes whenever it is imaginable to involve a momentary wave of coronavirus infections.

Tehran schools, libraries, mosques and other public establishments will be closed for one week as a component of measures to stop an immediate accumulation of Covid-19 cases, Reuters reports.
The closure plan, which will also include universities, seminars, libraries, museums, theaters, gymnasiums, cafes and hairdressers, came after Alireza Zali, head of Tehran’s coronavirus corridor group, called for closure to help control the epidemic.
Zali said in an interview on state television that if the spread of the disease continued at the current rate in the Iranian capital, there would be up to five times as many cases and an increase in the mortality rate between 1. 5% and 3%. .
