A new mutation of the coronavirus has been discovered in Israel, which may pose a particular danger. On Sunday, January 24, the Turkish Anadolu agency reported this with reference to the Israeli media.
As noted, the existence of a new dangerous strain became known from the report of the Israeli Military Intelligence Agency (AMAN). The document argued that the new mutation has a higher rate of spread among the population.
In this regard, everyone who comes to Israel from other countries must be re-quarantined. In addition, in the near future, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu plans to discuss with the country's Ministry of Health and the National Security Council under the government the possibility of closing Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv for two weeks.
Since the beginning of December, it has become known about the emergence of new mutated strains of SARS-CoV-2 from the UK, South Africa and Brazil. These variants of the virus appear to spread more easily, and this could lead to an increase in cases, deaths and hospitalizations.
