Abstract
Among the clinical categories described in the daily report by the W.H.O. on the incidence of COVID-19 worldwide, one concerns the number of recovering patients. However, in the subsequent accounts by various agencies, medical or otherwise, the data regarding convalescence are usually subdued. A relatively small proportion of recovery was noted in Germany and Israel and the query on the relevance of these figures was the basis of our investigation. The relative significance of the daily number of healing patients, as compared with the number of serious-critical patients and of death, together with the rate of these patients out of the total number of infected individuals were employed in our comparative study.
