Two Israeli cardiologists have been confirmed as infected with the Omicron variant, a spokesperson for Sheba hospital confirmed. Both doctors were fully vaccinated with three shots of the Pfizer coronavirus vaccine.
One of the doctors, in his 50s, brought the variant into Israel on return from a medical conference in London. He tested negative when he boarded the airplane from the United Kingdom to Israel and on arrival, but a few days later began experiencing symptoms.
