(ANSA) - TEL AVIV, 10 JAN - Israel could face in the next few times between 2 and 4 million positives (almost 40% of the population if the second figure is calculated) in the fifth wave of the pandemic caused in the country by the Omicron variant.
Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said this when commenting on the current situation in Israel.
According to today's data, in the last 24 hours there have been 21,500 new infections compared to 175 thousand tests with a morbidity rate of 12.31%.
To these should be added the 10 thousand positives that result, according to the report, from the antigen tests.
If that were the case, the total would rise to over 30,000.
The seriously ill are also on the rise, now 222.
Israelis over 60 who have had the fourth dose so far are about 250 thousand.
