you get an exclusive look right now into the largest shelter which men s path of life. this shelter is built to hold 800 according to the director here, the pastor. he has more than 1500 in here right now with another 5,000, he says, out in the streets waiting to get in. he has a second shelter. that one way over capacity at about 1,000 as well. the migrants are from honduras, guatemala, el salvador, northern triangle we re used to as well as places like he has six russians and a handful of ukrainians who aren t getting along because they want to make this journey. i ve been on this side of the mexican/american border many times and i ve never seen it like this. one of the challenges about this shelter is pastor silva has a very low covid rate but worried about out in the
precaution under israeli guidelines. he s working remotely. starting today some 30,000 israeli school children are going back to remote learning. every parent s nightmare, it s happening on a neighborhood bases and some neighborhoods here in tel aviv and jerusalem. it depends on the covid rate in your area and it depends how vaccinated your school is. if your school is more vaccinated, you may be able to send your kids back to the classroom. you may remember last week, israeli medical panel announced some fanfare they were recommending israel move ahead with the fourth dose of the vaccine for people over 60s and people over compromised immune system. that recommendation still have not given the green lights by health officials. israel may be waiting for more data before it moves ahead.
with them. there are a lot of folks out there who had scheduled cruises and the cruise industry feels blindsided by the cdc saying, i don t care if you re vaccinated or not, getting on a ship is a bad idea. reporter: the statement the cdc put out was, quote, avoid cruise travel. i don t think the government could have any more of a frank statement than that. but, you know, you re dealing with the reality that the cdc says they are now investigating and monitoring more than 80% of the current cruise liners that are out in either the u.s. waters or expected to enter u.s. waters. that is 91 cruise ships that they say have seen a positive covid rate in which it warrants monitoring here. this was a long year and a half here for the cruise industry. yet now the cdc with this dramatic increase in covid due to the omicron variant, they re seeing this play out on 91
guidelines as we deal with the new variant and this. 59% of cases in the u.s. here are the new omicron variant. the seven-day average here continues the bad record breaking we ve seen. in fact, we have another record high today. over 253,000 daily covid cases. we re also seeing more people going to the hospital. the number of children hospitalized with covid is also rising. most of them though not vaccinated. so. in respect, it follows some of the trends we ve seen. now, i want to make sure that we all understand the moment we re in. while the covid rate, the number of cases is hitting these all time highs, and that s a big concern. the rate of hospitalization is still actually down. and things are not as deadly as they were last year at this time, although case rate is as bad as last winter. so you can keep those things in
