CAIRO -- Turkey received on Monday 6.5 million more doses of COVID-19 vaccines produced by the Chinese company Sinovac. Meanwhile, Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammed Ishtaye said that Palestine is studying the option of closing borders to limit the spread of the new coronavirus strain.

A Turkish Airlines cargo plane loaded with the vaccines landed at Istanbul Airport early in the morning from China's capital Beijing.

After the completion of the customs clearance formalities at the airport, the vaccines were transferred to several warehouses in Istanbul for the necessary security tests, a health ministry official told Xinhua.

The official said the tests will last 14 days, and then the vaccines will be distributed to 81 provinces of the country to be used in the vaccination program.

The latest shipment was part of the second planned consignment of 10 million doses, Turkish Health Minister Fahrettin Koca announced on Sunday.

Turkey launched the mass vaccine campaign on Jan 14 after receiving the first batch of 3 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines from China at the end of December 2020.

Nurettin Yiyit, chief physician of the Feriha Oz Emergency Hospital in Istanbul, said "if we use our maximum capacity, we are in a position to vaccinate (people) in our country in a short period of time, as long as one month."

The physician also pointed out that the Turkish healthcare professionals always express their confidence in inactive vaccines like the Sinovac's shots.

"There are no serious side effects reported so far," he noted, adding this factor increases the trust of the citizens in the vaccination.

According to the health ministry's data, more than 1.25 million Turkish citizens have been vaccinated so far, and the program is going on as planned.

Also on Monday, Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammed Ishtaye said that Palestine is studying the option of closing its border crossings to limit the spread of the new coronavirus strain.

Ishtaye told the weekly meeting of the Palestinian Authority cabinet held in Ramallah that "Palestine is studying with Jordan and Israel the choice of closing all its border crossings to prevent the spread of the new COVID-19 strain."

Palestine has recently reported 17 cases infected with the new strain.

"Wearing face masks, washing hands, and abiding by social distancing are the only available weapons in our hands until now to combat the spread of the virus before we receive the vaccines soon," Ishtaye said in a press statement.

The Palestinian government in the West Bank, and Hamas movement, which rules the Gaza Strip, have been imposing lockdowns and precautionary measures since last March to prevent the spread of coronavirus.

"The wide commitment to the lockdown measures had led to positive results, and the occupancy rate decreased significantly in the hospitals designated for coronavirus in the Palestinian territories," Ishtaye added.

Meanwhile, Mai al-Kaila, the Palestinian Health Minister, told a news briefing that Palestine recorded five more deaths, 470 new COVID-19 cases, and 729 recoveries in the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem.

Lebanon registered on Monday 2,652 new COVID-19 infections, bringing the tally to 282,249, the health ministry reported. Death toll from the virus went up by 54 to 2,374 in the country.
