First Case Of COVID-19 Reported In Gaza

Gaza reported the first case of COVID-19 on Monday when authorities confirmed four infections at a refugee camp and security forces declared a 48-hour full lockdown.

A government spokesman said that the cases come from a family in central Gaza.

“A full curfew will be imposed starting tonight and in all of the Gaza Strip,” said the chairman of the government’s media office, Salama Marouf.

As the rumors about the cases were spread, people ran to the supermarket to get food and hygiene supplies. It is also reported that police vehicles patrolled the streets using loudspeakers to urge Gaza residents to comply with the curfew.

According to The Jakarta Post, the health ministry in Gaza said that the cases were uncovered after a woman traveled to the West Bank, where she was positive.

A health ministry spokesman urged anyone who might visit the supermarket outside a hospital in central Gaza to quarantine themselves and immediately report it to doctors.

Until Monday, there were no infections outside quarantine centers in Gaza.
