"At the moment in the data situation, it is impossible to remove the restrictions, because there is still no new or sufficient information about the Omicron," the director general of the Ministry of Health, Prof. Nachman Ash, said tonight (Monday), referring to restrictions on entry into Israel and restrictions on vaccination.
"Some of the news we hear is reassuring and some worrying," Ash said.
On the isolation and epidemiological investigations of those diagnosed at Omicron, the CEO said that “most of those diagnosed cooperate, but there are those who refuse to be sampled and people who refuse to evacuate to a hotel.
There are difficulties in investigations.
"Not something we have not encountered before, but we are two years in the epidemic, facing a more dangerous and violent variant, and all this is disturbing."
Regarding the discussion that will take place tomorrow in the epidemiological team on the administration of a fourth dose, Ash said: "The discussion will currently only be about vaccine suppressants. We are monitoring the vaccinated in the third dose and there are no signs of a decline."
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
