A 37-year-old man died Wednesday from COVID complications, only a day after his mother, 66, succumbed to the disease. Neither were vaccinated against the virus.
Despite Israel s high-paced vaccination drive, the inoculation rate in the Arab sector has been lower than the national average, prompting an awareness campaign targeted at the community.
