Gaza has reported its first case of corona-infected persons, reports TT.
The infected, two Palestinians who have returned from Pakistan, have, according to authorities, been quarantined near the border with Egypt and have not moved outside Gaza.
In Gaza, schools and markets have been closed for two weeks and this week the borders to Israel and Egypt were closed.
Palestinian health authorities say 53 people are infected by the West Bank's corona virus.
The concern is great for the consequences of an outbreak of coronary infection in the Gaza Strip, home to two million Palestinians. Authorities have fewer than 200 test kits and only about 20 available fans, writes al-Jazira.

Smoking increases the risk of becoming seriously ill from the Coronavirus. How long must one be smoke-free before the lungs recover appreciably?
Emelie
@Emelie - You see improvements pretty quickly. It always pays to stop smoking. The immune system and the capacity of the lungs are rapidly improving. If you are a smoker, this is a good time to stop. There is help with smoking cessation at the pharmacy. / Ekström & Aleman

Why do you think it is not like in Italy also in Sweden?
He
@He - We are a little behind Italy and hopefully have had time to take action so that we are better prepared. Italy also has a slightly older population, and the first group that received covid-19 in Sweden has been in the younger age groups - so far. There has also been a large concentration in a small area in Italy. / Ekström & Aleman

I was born -56 and medicated for high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes. My values are normal because I medicate. Has been smoke-free for 1½ years. How high do I have to get seriously ill?
Maria By Malmborg Linnman
@MariaafMalmborgLinnman - Hard to say to every individual, but it has been seen that high blood pressure and diabetes increase the risk of serious illness. But the average age of those who have died in Italy is around 80 years. Good that you quit smoking!
Make sure your sugar value and blood pressure are good, and take your medication. / Ekström & Aleman

Kjell
@Kjell - It infects mainly people. There is no evidence that pets can infect humans. But - it is important with hand hygiene when you have been out with the dog. The dog may have walked where people spit, shark, or the like. / Ekström & Aleman

Hey! We are planning for a wedding in late July. There will be about 100-120 guests. Among the guests are a few who are between 60-70 years old. We understand that it is difficult to know which directives authorities will impose applicable restrictions on public communities, for example, but from a safety point of view for those between 60-70, how should we think? Should we set it all up?
Anonymous
@Anonymous - - It is not possible to predict how long the restrictions will be needed. Many experts believe it will last over the summer. / Ekström & Aleman
