The Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee discusses GSS sites for locating verified strains of the Omicron strain • Earlier, the head of the Public Health Services in the Constitution Committee said: "We do not yet know the usefulness of the vaccine against the new strain" •


The Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee is now (Tuesday) discussing the GSS 'certification of indeed civilians who have been alongside verified members of the new Omikron strain. 

Dr. Elrai Price said at the hearing on the activation of GSS properties: "It is important to buy time to understand more about the new strain, whether it is deadly or harmful to children. The more we delay the entry of the virus, we will buy time for Israeli citizens. The plague - there will be no point in continuing to use this tool. "

"I have a hard time believing that they will have significant data, but they will probably have preliminary data," she said.  

"We do not know much about this variant and its lethality and we also do not know the issue of vaccine benefits," Dr. Sharon Elrai Price explained earlier in a similar discussion in the Constitution Committee. "It takes several weeks to reach conclusions that are really well-founded."

"There are 15 mutations in the most strategic place in the virus," said Dr. Sharon Elrai Price on the Amukron strain: "The worrying thing is the very rapid spread of the variant in South Africa."
