She was unvaccinated and suffered from underlying medical conditions.There is still another patient, a man, who is connected to an ECMO machine and in critical condition. However, he recovered from the virus itself long ago and rather is struggling from severe after-effects of the disease.In total, Rambam treated 15,100 COVID-19 patients in 15 months, the spokesperson said. Of them, 310 died of the disease.In Israel, 6,417 people died of the virus out of 839,539 who were diagnosed with it.
