Israel's Health Ministry announced Saturday that it had identified four cases of the South African coronavirus variant in Israel.

They were found among 15 samples that were sent to the ministry's central virus lab for rapid sequencing.

The four cases come from two different chains of infection, the ministry said: one from a person who returned to Israel from South Africa, and another from a family that was infected by someone who returned from the country.

... On Wednesday, public health chief Dr. Sharon Alroy-Preis had expressed concern over a spread of the South African strain in Israel, saying that new research showed that exisiting vaccines may be less effective against it.
