Of the 14 suspects, two are doctors from Sheba Hospital in Tel Hashomer who were vaccinated against Corona.
For the time being, there is a danger that if they did get sick, they would have already managed to infect their patients in the hospital.
One of the doctors returned a few days ago from England, and returned to work only after a negative result, however after that he began to develop mild symptoms, and probably caught up with the other doctor.
A relatively large number of the suspects, seven people, are residents of the Bedouin diaspora in the Negev, where the percentage of immunizations is considered low in Israel.
The other suspects, including two children, are citizens living in various cities, including Raanana, Ramat Gan, Rishon Lezion, Kiryat Malachi and Rehovot.
Of the suspects, there are four fully vaccinated with Pfizer vaccines, however all experience the symptoms mildly.
In the last ten days, 1,866 passengers from red countries entered the country, of whom 1,625 were vaccinated.
The rate of positive tests among the repeaters is a relatively small percentage - 0.8%.

Of the returnees, there were some who did not obey the instructions.
Thus, one of the returnees from Addis Ababa fled from the Corona Hotel to which he was sent.
Another Israeli refused to evacuate to a motel and eventually his HMO approached the Ministry of Health to issue an immediate eviction order.
Also, there are several other passengers on the bus to Eilat who have not been located and some still refuse to be checked.

The Ministry of Health is considering recommending further measures to curb the spread of the variant.
The first is to oblige in isolation those who come in contact with verified for the new strain until a negative result is obtained, even if it is vaccinated.
Another thing is to fine returnees from abroad who do not perform the second test on the third day according to the new guidelines, before leaving the isolation.
At the same time, the CEO of the Pfizer pharmaceutical company, Albert Burla, said in an interview with CNBC Of the corona.
"The current dose - which is relatively small, of three doses - provides good protection, but I repeat: these are three doses of the current vaccine."
