According to the ministry, in the last two weeks the number of infections in the Arab sector has doubled.
The average this week is 576 per day.
Their share of the total number of infected is 46%, while their relative share in the population is 18%.
The infection rate in the sector is particularly high and stands at 1.24, compared with a national infection factor of 1.27.
Following the morbidity in cities in the Arab sector, many cities were defined as red and some closures were even decided upon.
At the same time, the Palestinian Authority's Ministry of Health reported alarming data over the past day, which surpassed Israeli medical and defense officials: 1,689 new corona patients in 6,616 tests and 13 deaths, compared with 759 recovering.
Since the beginning of the epidemic, 69,685 Palestinians have been infected in the West Bank.
There are currently 13,357 active patients, of whom 67 are in critical condition, of whom 14 are respirators.
For comparison, the Ministry of Health collects accurate data on the number of patients who arrived from Turkey in the last week (165 out of 14,252 flights).
Although they do not know if the numbers are similar in the PA, the ministry is considering taking harsh measures such as closure or various restrictions and has asked the Ministry of Defense to come up with various proposals for the Corona Cabinet.
The defense establishment is considering: closure or inspections at the crossings
Following the illness in the West Bank, the defense establishment claims that only a closure on the territories will be effective in preventing the spread of the virus.
In recent days, Defense Minister Bnei Gantz has held consultations and instructed to examine the possibility of closure, or to examine inspections at the entrance to the crossings.
According to security system estimates, the idea of conducting inspections at the entrances to the crossings is not feasible, as workers pass through gates without human hand contact in the early morning hours to reach workplaces at a reasonable time.
Arriving earlier to switch to testing needs will hurt their business hours.

But the idea of closure also encounters difficulties, regarding the fact that the largest employer in the PA is Israel.
A decision on a general curfew while Israel continues with its routine could hurt many industries, most notably the construction industry - more than 60,000 Palestinian workers enter Israel every day.
In addition, the defense establishment presented an estimate to Ganz that the curfew may increase security tensions, following the economic difficulties in the PA's territories, regardless of the corona period.
Sources estimated that if they imposed a blockade on the State of Israel, it would be easy to explain to the Palestinians why they were prevented from arriving in Israel.
Meanwhile, the Palestinian Authority intends to continue imposing a blockade on the territories on weekends to prevent Israeli Arabs from entering Palestinian markets in order to prevent the chain of contagion.
