The Israel Ministry of Health publishes a coronavirus dashboard on its [website](https://govextra.gov.il/ministry-of-health/corona/corona-virus/). It includes a downloadable data file which includes the cumulative number of coronavirus detection tests conducted. This data file is updated daily and includes data up to one week before publication. The first observation in the time series is from 26 January 2020 which covers most, if not all, of the relevant period. No further information on the geographical scope, number of labs, or types of test included are known. The MOH also publishes COVID-19 updates on its official channel on Telegram. However, this data is published in a format that is extremely challenging to collect. We previously relied on the data collected and made available [on GitHub](https://github.com/idandrd/israel-covid19-data/blob/master/Corona-Tests.csv). On 19 April 2020, the person who maintains the GitHub repository confirmed to us that the units refer to the number of tests performed, after checking the information with the Ministry of Health. However, on 29 May 2020 we became aware of the easily accessible Israel MOH series which we now report.
