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.
Close to the modern CEO's statement that "there is no chance that the effectiveness of the vaccine against Omicron will be similar to that against the Delta", the head of public health services Dr. Sharon Elrai Price reinforces the approach that the spelling method should be used. "Is it fatal or harmful to children. The more we delay the entry of the virus, we will buy time for the citizens of Israel. Once it passes from a small amount to most of the plague - there will be no point in continuing to use this tool."
"The most worrying thing for us is the very rapid spread of this variant in South Africa," said Dr. Price, continuing "an increase from 200 cases to 2,000 cases in ten days, which means that every three days the numbers there are doubled.
They described events in which one person infected a great many people, some of whom were not vaccinated but also vaccinated.
From what we hear vaccinated do not have significant symptoms, it is a mild disease - but in the meantime it is preliminary information.
"Today there will be preliminary data on the effectiveness of the vaccine."
Deputy Attorney General Raz Nizri also spoke regarding the GSS's location and not in favor. "There is a problematic and complex legal issue here, there are two things we consider to be extremely problematic. "There is an exception and this is the event we are in at the moment."

"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. "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 of the Amukron strain: "The worrying thing is the very rapid spread of the variant in South Africa."
At the same time, the Ministry of Health this morning published data on the spread of the corona plague.
The data show that the infection coefficient (R) dropped to 1.03, lower than the figure published yesterday (1.07).

Earlier this week, Health Minister Horowitz criticized the GSS's activation despite many government ministers's opposition to the operation in the past. Reach out to the people who have been in contact with them and to interrupt the chain of infection.
