PA announces 6 new coronavirus cases in West Bank, bringing total to 216
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Palestinian Authority Health Ministry announces that it has confirmed six new cases of coronavirus since last evening, bringing the total number of carriers in the West Bank to 216.
A spokesman for the ministry says the uptick is due to the uncoordinated return of workers from Israeli settlements who he says have been infecting other Palestinians. While the PA has barred its citizens from continuing to work in the settlements, no such directive has been given by Jerusalem and some employees have continued to show up to work.
