The report of the Intelligence and Information Center published today (Sunday) continues the forecasts from the last few days and states that "we are on the verge of re-spreading the plague."
Experts predict that the additional reliefs that went into effect today are likely to lead to an increase in morbidity.
The increase in the national infection coefficient, which currently stands at 1.02, is linked by experts to the removal of restrictions.
According to the report, "the British variant is much more contagious (for all ages) compared to previous strains and significantly increases the risk of serious illness and hospitalization." .
