The British mutation is spreading and hitting the Palestinian population in Judea and Samaria:
some 360 Palestinians have been diagnosed after varicose veins and the Ministry of Health estimates that more than 100 percent of those infected with it, as well as several dozen other Palestinians infected with the South African and Brazilian mutations.
In Ramallah, it is claimed that the passage of Palestinian workers from the West Bank to Israeli territory and back causes a rapid outbreak of the British mutation, which, as mentioned, infects faster and more people than the "normal" mutation of the virus.
Currently, the PA has about 13,000 active patients and the occupancy rate in West Bank hospitals stands at more than 160 percent. The use of respirators has reached the maximum number and there are currently no more machines available. In the last two weeks the number of positive tests has doubled.
A senior official in the Ministry of Health in Ramallah confirmed to Israel Today that it is cooperating with the Ministry of Health and the Israeli authorities in order to help the Palestinian Authority stop the outbreak of the virus, and Israel recently authorized the PA to launch an information campaign among East Jerusalem residents The Israeliness in the east of the city, in addition to the vaccination stations operated by MDA at the Qalandiya checkpoint.
It was recently agreed that Israel will provide thousands of vaccines to Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, in order to vaccinate designated staff, such as medical staff in Palestinian hospitals and security and security forces of the security forces.
The Palestinian Authority has managed to curb the spread of the corona through spot closures, a ban on crowds and the imposition of high fines.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Ramallah told Israel today that this time there would be no alternative to imposing a general blockade to stop the outbreak: "We have no choice but to declare a full closure in the coming days, for two weeks in all West Bank districts.
Spot closures will not help, as there is a constant migration of Palestinian workers to Israel and back.
Those who work will be forced to stay in Israel for the entire period of closure, as was the case with previous closures.
This is the only way to stop the spread of the virus. "
