Until late July 2020, and particularly from March through July, there was no indication of an excess mortality in Israel despite the increase in the number of people who died of the Coronavirus and the increase in their proportion among the overall number of deaths. The mortality rate was particularly low during the first months of the year, but once the pandemic began, and particularly from April through July, it resembled that of previous years, with weekly fluctuations. A statistical calculation of excess mortality (see the explanation below) by weeks found that excess mortality from March through July was approximately 300 deaths out of 19,000 deaths during that period.

From the beginning of 2020 to the end of July, 27,500 residents of Israel died. There were 27,550 deaths during the same period in 2019. During these months, the crude death rate, which takes population size into account, was slightly lower in 2020 than in 2019: 3.0 per 1,000 in 2020 compared with 3.1 per 1,000 in 2019. The mortality rate between March and July 2020 was almost identical with the mortality rate during the same period in 2019./
