Against the background of the decline in corona morbidity, the corona projector, Prof. Salman Zarka, will return to manage Ziv Hospital in Safed on Sunday. At the request of Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz, he will continue in his role as project manager.
"I am happy for the citizens of Israel that the wave of the omicron continues to fade and that we have regained our normal way of life," said Prof. Zarqa, adding:

Prof. Zarqa was appointed to the position in July 2021 and led the Corona treatment policy in the third and fourth waves.
As of May 1, Israel has returned to a "between waves" situation, which includes reducing most of the corona arrays, while maintaining the capabilities to conduct flooring tests and investigations, which will form the basis for action in the event that a new variant is discovered.
Latent morbidity
A report by the Corona National Knowledge and Information Center, published this morning, stated that "there is a decrease in the average number of new nationals below 2,000 per day, on a weekly basis, along with a decrease in the number of hospitalized and critically ill patients."
However, they emphasized that "there is a latent morbidity to a significant extent and in practice the number of infections is much higher. The number of institutional tests performed in the community (excluding weighting of return tests from abroad, MI) - is low, standing at less than 20,000 tests on average.
The low level of testing makes it difficult to identify and understand morbidity trends. "
