People rush to buy food as curfew imposed in Gaza Strip amid new virus cases

People rush to buy food on Tuesday after the Hamas government announces the imposition of a 48 hours curfew in the Gaza Strip. The chairman of the government’s media office in Gaza said the decision was made after four people from the same family tested positive for the virus who were not linked to quarantine facilities for residents returning from abroad.

The four infections were from a refugee camp in central Gaza Strip.  Previous infections were reported from inside quarantine centers for arrivals to Gaza. Prior to Tuesday's announcement, the total number of infections in Gaza stood at 109, including one death.
