Israel has recommended vaccinating teenagers following several coronavirus outbreaks clustered around schools, with even fully vaccinated people contracting the virus as authorities blame the more infectious delta variant.

The country reported 125 new cases in 24 hours on Tuesday, the highest one-day total since the end of April.

The latest outbreaks were identified in several schools following random testing and came after Israel removed nearly all of its coronavirus restrictions following a dramatic decrease in cases and a world-leading vaccination campaign that began in December.

Infections peaked in January with over 10,000 daily cases, falling to new daily cases in single digits this month.

In two schools, nine fully vaccinated teachers contracted the virus, local newspaper Haaretz reported.-- excerpt, rest at link above --
