(Miriam Alster/Flash90) Israel’s infection rates have remained high but steady, according to figures released Friday morning, after the country tightened its lockdown in an effort to curb a raging COVID-19 outbreak that is threatening to overshadow its successful vaccination campaign. Some 115,000 people received their first dose of the COVID-19 shot Thursday, Health Minister Yuli Edelstein said, bringing the total number of Israelis inoculated to 1.7 million out of a population of 9.29 million, by far the highest vaccination rate in the world. The Health Ministry said more than 70 percent of Israelis over the age of 60 have now received the first shot.
