RAMALLAH, June 18 (Xinhua) -- Palestine on Thursday confirmed 50 new COVID-19 cases, bringing the total number of infection cases to 795.

A total of 575 patients have recovered from the virus, while the death toll still stood at five, Palestinian Minister of Health Mai al-Kaila said in a press statement.

Health authorities in Palestine have warned that a second wave of the novel coronavirus has begun, urging the public to follow public health protocols.

China has helped Palestine in its fight against COVID-19 outbreak. On April 20, China handed over a batch of medical supplies to Palestine. In mid-April, Palestine received a shipment of medical aid donated by China's Alibaba company.

Since April 14, Chinese doctors and medical experts have held three video conferences via the internet with Palestinian counterparts to share the Chinese experiences in containing the coronavirus outbreak. Enditem
