The number of coronavirus cases at al-Bashir Hospital increased to 35, said the hospital's director, Mahmoud Zraiqat, on Tuesday.

The new cases involve staff who came into contact with other positive cases at the hospital, Zraiqat added.

However, Zraiqat criticized how some people who come to the hospital do not adhere to the required health and safety measures, noting that those who do not comply with health protocols that are set by the Ministry of Health, will not be allowed to enter the hospital.
