Dr. Arnon Shachar, a member of the team for the treatment of epidemics, said today (Thursday) in an interview with the High Court of Justice that there is a chance that in the coming days a decision will be made to allow the verified without symptoms to go to work.
"It may be that in the coming days we will also make a decision that asymptomatic people can go out to work," Dr. Shahar said. "Things are on the table.
You have to sit and see data of 'what will happen if-', and then make an informed decision while managing risks. "
"As with child isolation, we should also start talking about making changes to the green label outline. However, we see that a fresh vaccine also protects against infection, and that has an effect," Dr. Shahar said.
Meanwhile, Prof. Dror Mevorach, director of the internal medicine department at Hadassah, wrote this morning: "This morning we passed the 100 sick doctors. But I estimated that in two weeks we will pass the peak. There is light at the end."
He added: "We are talking about optimal sub-treatment in 800 serious patients and even in 1200, but in the omicron wave this has already happened before - not so much in the lack of intensive care beds, but in the lack of staff that has doubled compared to previous waves."
According to data published last night, there are about 400,000 active patients and 200,000 isolated - the rate of positives has climbed to 17%, and in the corona wards 634 patients are hospitalized in critical condition.
