Palestine-Gaza reports 1st case of Delta variant

Palestinian health officials on Monday declared that the first cases of Delta variant of COVID-19 were confirmed in the besieged Gaza Strip, home of more than 2 million Palestinians.

The health ministry under Hamas said in a press statement that it recorded three fatalities and 663 new COVID-19 cases in the last 24 hours, and most of the infections are with Delta variant.

Meanwhile, Ashraf al-Qidra, spokesman of the Gaza health ministry, told a news conference that the ministry has decided to completely stop visits to patients inside hospitals, except for the most urgent cases.

“It was decided to oblige all employees in all ministries and government departments to receive the vaccine,” he said, adding that the elderly must be protected.
