Covid-19 Surges in Arab Neighborhoods of Jerusalem
(Ha'aretz) Nir Hasson - In recent weeks, most of the people infected with Covid-19 in Jerusalem live mainly in Arab neighborhoods. The IDF Home Front Command says links between these Jerusalem neighborhoods and the West Bank are contributing to the spiking infection rates. Local Arab families have recently held weddings in the West Bank to bypass the prohibition on large gatherings in Jerusalem. The Jerusalem Municipality says mass prayers on Fridays on the Temple Mount are also contributing to the growing number of infections.
