Palestine Go Into New Lockdown While Awaiting Vaccines

The Palestinian Authority on Saturday declared a new set of lockdown restrictions as coronavirus infections surge and Palestinians await the rollout of a significant vaccination program.

The lockdown restrictions, set to last for 12 days, include the closure of universities, nighttime curbs on travel and nonessential commerce, and a ban on gatherings for weddings, parties and funerals.

Intensive care units for COVID-19 patients have reached 95 percent occupancy in the West Bank and schools have been identified as the main cause for the fast spread of infections, the health ministry said.
