Rami Al-Abadla, Director of the Infection Control and Safety Unit at the Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip, said today, Wednesday, that the epidemic curve has been at a high level since the tenth of this month, due to the rise in critical and dangerous cases.
In an interview with the local Voice of Jerusalem radio, Al-Abadala stated that the curve is moving at a high level, such as the plateau system, as it stabilized at a high level after the ascending rise, and this may be a precursor to a decline in the curve or an additional escalation, and it is likely that its level will remain high even after the blessed Eid al-Fitr.
Regarding the Indian mutation, Al-Abadleh said that no one can deny or confirm that it entered Gaza or not, indicating that 200 samples collected from the governorates of the Strip, of people of different ages and both sexes, were sent to the World Health Organization in Jerusalem, and its results need 10 days.
"All possibilities are available in the presence of new mutations of the virus in the Gaza Strip," the official at the Ministry of Health in Gaza said.
Al-Abadla pointed out that the Indian boom is 20 to 40 times faster than the British boom, and it consists of a compound Corona virus that is completely different from previous viruses, and has additional symptoms that differ from the previous symptoms and are highly contagious.
He added, "The Indian boom may reach the Gaza Strip, especially as it reaches the occupation state through the crossings, and we do not exclude the presence of other booms inside the strip."
For his part, Salameh Maarouf, head of the Governmental Information Office in Gaza, said that there are no indications that the Indian boom has reached the sector, and that the measures taken are balanced with the epidemiological situation.
Maarouf stated that the competent authorities aspire to break the severity of the epidemic curve, and if this is achieved, there will be a review of the procedures.
"As long as we do not take other measures, this means that the current measures are able to affect the epidemiological situation," he added.
