According to its latest report, World Health Organization said that the number of people testing positive for COVID-19 continues to increase in the West Bank with an average of 402 new cases daily since July 1.
As a result of the significant climb in cases, the Palestinian government has declared further restriction on movement during the Islamic festival of Eid al-Adha, to avoid social gatherings and potential contraction of the disease.
The Palestinian Health Ministry now has 14 centers designated to deal with COVID-19.
Overall, there are 35 treatment and quarantine centers in the West Bank and six in the Gaza Strip. Enditem
