The fifth corona wave is expected to begin to subside between January 25 and the 30th of the month, the Hebrew University researchers predict this morning (Wednesday).
According to the researchers, the continuation of the current morbidity trend will lead to a peak of between 800,000 and up to two million active corona carriers.
According to the researchers, in about two weeks between 1,000 and 2,000 will be hospitalized in critical condition, however, a data analysis in London shows that no critical load is expected in the number of respirators.
According to the forecast, between 2% and 5% of the patients will be children up to the age of 11.
The researchers recommend limiting gatherings and considering updating the criteria for hospitalization.
They added that for the first time an improvement in protection against the omicron was observed, and clarified that this improvement may be related to the administration of an additional dose of vaccine.

Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said last night that "we will reach several million infected people in Israel." This, during a statement he made from the Tel Aviv campus, about the government's ways of dealing with the spread of the omicron strain and the rise in the number of verified and isolated
. On the issue of tests and long queues, the Prime Minister said that we are one of the peaks of the world's tests. "The queues are long but they will be shortened. I personally hate standing in line, but we have adapted the tests to the load in the labs, and there will be more relief soon. Those who do not have to access PCR - do not access, we want them for the adults. "
Also last night, the Ministry of Health announced that the isolation period for verified patients will be shortened to only seven days, if no symptoms of the disease appear in the last three days.
If such symptoms do appear during this time period, patients will be required to complete ten days of isolation, as has been the case so far.
The decision will take effect this coming Thursday.
