The Israeli working group on the coronavirus epidemic is involved in importing instances of controlled West Bank spaces through the Palestinian Authority, raising the highest infection rates there and among Israeli Arabs.
During today’s assembly of the so-called Coronavirus Cabinet, coronavirus czar Ronni Gamzu would put a mandatory quarantine for Israeli Arabs returning after visiting AP-controlled areas.
The designation of Palestinian cities with the highest infection rates as “red” cities is also being considered, possibly resulting in restrictions for others who have visited those cities.
The executing organization states in a report that AP spaces have about 400 new instances per day with a positive check rate of 20% (official AP figures imply that this figure is about 10%) and 30 to 40 new serious patients each day, concluding that these figures imply that the actual morbidity rate is approximately 4 times higher than the official figures.
He says Israeli Arabs go to those spaces to work, organize opportunities and have fun. It also highlights the fact that some 100,000 Palestinian employees contribute to Israel every day.
