The Omicron wave spares no country. In Tel Aviv (Israel), the variant continues its path and contaminations are constantly increasing. However, the country has decided to reopen its borders.
Why did the government of Israel choose to open its borders, when the Omicron variant is causing an unprecedented number of contaminations in the country? Sunday January 9, live from Tel Aviv, journalist Agnès Vahramian provides answers on this “immense paradox“.”The first vaccinated tourists arrived this morning after 21 months of closure, as the number of cases of contamination peaks here. “, first indicates the journalist on France 3.
If Israel has decided to reopen its borders “at the worst time of the epidemic“It is actually a strategic choice on the part of the government, which finds that stopping the spread of the virus is no longer possible. For Israel, the few cases coming from abroad will not change the situation.”[Nous] note here that this virus is much less fatal than Delta was“, Explain Agnes Vahramian. The country wants to develop a form of collective immunity, and prefers to focus on the fourth dose in order to protect its inhabitants.
