In the Palestinian Authority, the virus is causing uncertainty as well, and a network rumor claims that Chairman Mahmoud Abbas also suffered from the disease. The Abu Mazen bureau denied reports that Rais had been rushed to hospital last night in serious condition. A statement from the Rais Bureau said that "Abbas is in excellent medical condition. He is staying at his home and closely monitoring the reports and actions to prevent the spread of the epidemic."

The reports came out in Arab news agencies and Arab media. As the rumor about his condition spread on social networks like wildfire, his bureau quickly issued a denial. However, in the coming days, he did not speak out publicly - it may confirm the publications.
