RAMALLAH, April 5, 2020 - Most Palestinians in the West Bank - as many as 96% - support the instituting of strict curfew measures if needed to stop the spread of the coronavirus, finds a joint JMCC and Juzoor for Health and Social Development telephone poll.

During the Palestinian uprisings, Palestinians often experienced extended periods of curfew brutally enforced by occupying Israeli forces. But the threat posed by the pandemic poses a new and different hardship. In the fight against COVID-19, the Palestinian leadership appears to have attained the public's trust.

Eighty-one percent of respondents said that they believe that the coronavirus poses a real threat, and 96% said that they trust the government's response. Moreover, most Palestinians polled were aware of symptoms of the virus and how to prevent its spread.

The survey had a sample size of 600, used randomly generated phone numbers and lasted about 10 minutes. The response rate was 83% and data was collected between March 29-31, 2020.
