The Ministry of Health's decision 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 will take effect today.

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

ministry made the decision based on a study conducted with the participation of about 80 verified patients infected with the omicron strain, who were examined once every two days.

The results of the study show that the chance of developing a live virus after seven days is only 6%.

The data were presented to the IDF (the epidemiological team), and he in turn recommended the move to the Ministry of Health.

Yesterday, Hebrew University researchers predicted that the fifth corona wave would begin to subside between January 25 and the 30th of the month.

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 them, in about two weeks there will be between 1,000 and 2,000 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 patients will have children up to the age of 11.
