A 70-year-old cardiologist was infected by a certified cardiologist from Sheba Medical Center in Tel Hashomer - who is suspected of being a carrier of the Omicron strain. This was reported this evening (Monday) by Kati Dor on Kan News. The vaccine for children aged 5-11 is recommended by doctors: a special response for parents It's unimaginable: injury, hunger, and thirst • So how should mice be caught? Everyone adopts one vaccinated person: Have you already convinced a friend, neighbor, or relative? Now there is a suspicion that the doctor who was infected also carries the new variant. Both doctors have been vaccinated with three doses of the Pfizer vaccine. Earlier today, Sheba Hospital said that a doctor who returned a few days ago from a medical conference in London was confirmed to have coronavirus and it is suspected that it is the Omicron strain. The doctor has been vaccinated with three doses and his condition is mild and improving. An epidemiological investigation has been conducted and everyone who came into contact with the doctor is being tested. According to the report, in the days after landing and until he felt symptoms and was tested, the cardiologist managed to perform seven catheterizations at Sheba, and attend two cardiologist conferences in Israel. All attendees of the first conference held in Tel Hashomer on Thursday were tested, but the test results have not yet been received. The other 70-year-old cardiologist traveled with the patient in a car to the conference last Friday, and is suspected to have contracted it from him during the trip. Earlier today, the head of public health services at the Ministry of Health, Dr. Sharon Al-Rai-Price, said that the condition of the two confirmed with the new strain is mild. She said they are vaccinated, which is consistent with reports from South Africa that vaccinated people are more protected against Omicron.
