Infections in Arab community said to be on the rise as school resumes
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe return to school in the Arab Israeli sector is being conducted amid signs of accelerating coronavirus infection in Arab communities, according to a report filed by the Arab Emergency Committee.
Around 6.6% of coronavirus tests in Arab towns and cities came back positive, three times the current national average, according to the Emergency Committee’s report.
Arab Israeli infections now account for 30% of the country’s overall number of active cases, even though Israel’s Arab citizens are only around one-fifth of the population.
