Earlier today, the Minister of Health, Nitzan Horowitz, and senior officials of the Ministry of Health held a press conference on the steps to deal with the Omicron variant that was decided on in the last day.

According to Horowitz, "Immediately after locating the Omicron strain in Israel, we took a series of immediate steps so that we can locate those infected with the strain and prevent it from spreading. At the same time, we follow what is happening in the world. "As much as possible the risk and everything within the framework of the policy of living alongside the corona. We make the decisions with discretion, we have successful experience and the situation is handled by the best experts."

On the decision to close the entrance to Israel: "The guidelines will be valid from tonight and for two weeks. This is a short period of time designed to create certainty about the meanings of the spread, with the goal being to maintain the routine of life in the country just as we have worried so far."

Director General of the Ministry of Health, Prof. Nachman Ash:

Some states do not perform genetic flooring, so one has to go for hardware.

Emirates and Turkey - We monitor the morbidity there, but we have no basis that there is a special morbidity there.

"We also check at Ben Gurion Airport from these countries. We look every day where there are additional locations and whether it will be necessary to expand the list of red countries."
