RAMALLAH, Wednesday, March 11, 2020 (WAFA) – Ramallah restaurants can deliver food to customers but not serve it at the restaurant, today said Ramallah Governor Laila Ghannam.

The governor had yesterday ordered all city restaurants, coffee shops, gyms, parks and any place where people gather to shut down in an effort to fight the coronavirus outbreak.

She said in a press statement that restaurants can resume work but only to deliver food, stressing that gathering of crowds remains forbidden for the time being.

Government staff will go around to make sure that the restaurants abide by this decision, otherwise violators will be prosecuted according to the law.

Ghannam said this exception applies only to restaurants and that all other city facilities, including its trendy coffee shops, will remain closed.
