"We follow the BA2 variant mainly in the UK and Denmark," said Prof. Zarka.

"The name of the disease means that the wave of the omicron does not go down. We are afraid that the spread of BA2 in Israel will cause thousands of diseases for many weeks.

Prof. Zarqa also said that "hospitals in Israel are not in danger of collapsing. I am monitoring the situation. There is more congestion in some places, but the health system continues to provide a solution."

"As the number of patients increases, the optimal response decreases. The health system needs to be strengthened not only for this wave. The State of Israel deserves a strong health system. It has been agreed to allocate 45 intensive care beds. We hope to announce this in the coming days. The old summary belongs to the delta wave and is no longer relevant. "
