Al-Sakhrah added, “About two weeks ago, the virus began to spread, and we took samples from all areas of the West Bank.
And we found that there are 50 cases of the Indian coronavirus “delta” present in Palestine.”
He continued, “Our neighboring countries have new mutations, a widespread, and greater hospitalizations, and we call on citizens to adhere to preventive measures.”
