An-Najah News - Nablus – Today, Sunday, the Palestinian Ministry of Health decided to close Thabet Thabet Governmental Hospital in Tulkarm, to transform it into a center for receiving and treating cases infected with coronavirus.

Al-Shakhra said that a citizen from the village of Barta'a, northwest of Jenin, had suffered from health problems for 10 days, and had visited private clinics, before being transferred to the Ministry of Health and did a corona test, as it was found that he was infected with the virus.
