An Israeli hospital on Tuesday confirmed the first known death in the country of a patient with the Omicron variant of COVID-19, but said he had suffered from a number of serious pre-existing conditions.

The Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba said the man, in his sixties, died on Monday, two weeks after he was admitted to the coronavirus ward.

A PCR test led to suspicion that the Omicron variant was present so it was sent for DNA analysis, the statement added. Earlier on Tuesday, the Health Ministry said there were at least 340 known cases of Omicron in Israel.
