Dahir said that the behavior of this virus is still under study by virus experts around the world, which remains the risk of reinfection for the recovered, despite its limitations, which requires full adherence to health controls and correct health and preventive behavior for those recovering for fear of the disease returning to them in a way that their bodies cannot bear as it was.

Duhair said that the Gaza Strip is the same as in all regions of the world, which is witnessing a new wave that may be more severe than its predecessors from the outbreak of the epidemic, and it needs to be dealt with seriously and not be complacent or disregarding the preventive measures required of everyone for one moment in order to get out of this dangerous stage with the least losses.
