Prof. Dror Mevorach, director of the Corona Department at Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem, was interviewed this morning on Nissim Mashaal’s program on 103FM and commented on the effects of the rapid rise in morbidity: “From the health system’s point of view, “The most liberal who does not want a closure will declare a closure.”
Prof. Mevorach referred to the situation in his ward at the hospital, and said: “I can tell you that Hadassah is currently leading the way in the number of patients with Omicron in Israel. “Or a preparation, we saw what was happening in Europe and what happened in South Africa.”
However, Prof. Mevorach admits that the health care system was already in full swing: “We were already in the collapse of the health care system. No one likes to call it that, but during the third wave there were about 1,200 seriously ill patients hospitalized and this undoubtedly hurt patients. That is not what happened in Italy when people died on the streets. “
He also referred to the New Year’s celebrations expected to take place today: “It’s not just these things. I think a little more restrictions need to be made. Although in the end the most important thing is public responsibility and understanding of the situation we are in. So tonight I would not go to a New Year’s party. “100 participants. Can take my offer or not, I think that is the responsibility of us all.”

In this context, Prof. Mevorach was asked whether the Ministry of Health could lead a mass infection model, and he said: “I do not think so. According to the instructions he sends to the hospitals, the Ministry of Health does not really want mass infection. “It does not lead there. The policy is not a policy of mass infection.”
Regarding corona in children, Prof. Mevorach noted that “Children are a vulnerable population because they are much less vaccinated, at these ages we see a spread of the disease. The post-corona effect as a result of the omicron compared to the Delta, whether it will be the same or less. “
On this, Prof. Mevorach added: “There are two dangerous diseases: one, it is an inflammatory systemic syndrome that can appear from a week after the corona and cause systems to collapse, usually temporarily. Children in particular. The second thing is the disease called Which can appear after the disease itself. “
Finally, Prof. Mevorach wants to make it clear to the public: “We are in the most contagious variant, everyone has to take personal responsibility. Everyone has to check that he has been vaccinated 3 times, that’s the most important thing. Then personal care and we will go through it – not worry.”
