The Sheba Medical Center said today (Monday) that a doctor who returned from a medical conference in London a few days ago has been verified in Corona.
As part of an investigation, the possibility was raised that this may be the omicron strain, but a final answer has not yet been received.
The doctor is vaccinated with three doses, his condition is mild, he is improving and he does not need any medical treatment.
An immediate epidemiological investigation was conducted, all contacts being examined, including laboratory tests.
In Israel, there are currently two people diagnosed with the omicron strain and 15 people are waiting for their flooring tests to diagnose whether they have contracted the variant.
In 25,000 laboratory tests performed yesterday on returnees from abroad, no further suspicious samples were found. 84 people who landed from Ethiopia were transferred to a motel. One escaped from the isolation.
