"We have 8,000 verified from yesterday and hundreds of them will be hospitalized and about 70 of them will die, it will happen from yesterday's infection," Dr. Rokach clarified. "So I do not see how the next month will look really significant relief.

I do assume that in the second half of February and March we will see fewer people hospitalized. "

The current morbidity load stretches the readiness to the limit of its capacity.

In light of this, this situation should be treated as an emergency of the health system.

I expect the actions of the hospital managements accordingly. "
