Top health official very concerned about virus spread among Palestinians

Bar Siman-Tov says one of his biggest concerns is the spread of the coronavirus among Palestinians.

“We’re epidemiologically integrated organs. What happens there will ultimately happen here,” he tells the Knesset’s coronavirus committee.

According to the Palestinian Authority, there have been 77 confirmed cases in PA-controlled areas of the West Bank and another nine in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip.
