The spike in infections, mostly in Hebron governorate, is the highest single-day increase since restrictions were relaxed in late May. The West Bank is seeing rising rates of infection in recent days, registering 11 new cases yesterday.
The PA is “preparing for an anticipated second wave of coronavirus in the event of a continued rise in cases,” Palestinian Authority Health minister Mai al-Kaila announced on Tuesday.
