An-Najah News - The Palestinian government renewed last night its ban on public and private traffic between the governorates and cities for one more week, trying to stop a growing coronavirus outbreak.

Ibrahim Milhem, the government spokesman, said at a press conference in Ramallah, that in spite of the cross-governorate ban on traffic and movement, commercial and business activities within the same governorate will remain operating.

Based on the recommendations of the Epidemiology Committee and the Emergency Committee, Milhem affirmed that the government decided to continue to apply the same safety measures to contain the pandemic, focusing on traffic and movement between the governorates that affected neighborhoods in cities, villages, and refugee camps which will be tightly sealed off, for the purpose of enabling preventive medicine crews to carry out their work.
