Israel: 10-20% of critically ill infected with Omicron

In Israel, only 10-20% of seriously ill patients are infected with the Omicron coronavirus strain.

This is reported by Kan with reference to experts.

According to the words specialists, even if this new strain is 80% less likely to cause severe cases of the disease, hospitals will still face a huge burden.

If it is 90% easier for patients to tolerate, then there is a possibility that the current outbreak will fade away without a heavy burden on hospitals.
