Covid-19 recurrences were logged at two schools last week and the daily positivity rate is creeping back up, Health Ministry data showed. In response the ministry issued the formal recommendation for 12-15 year-olds to get vaccinated, noting that travel abroad is expected to rise during the summer. Nachman Ash, the national pandemic response coordinator, said earlier that the move "would certainly be correct at this stage". "We should not wait for higher numbers. We have seen there were quite a few children infected over the last week."
