Coronavirus and the Temple Mount

Nachman Ash, an Israeli expert on the coronavirus, says Israel has no solution for large groups of Palestinians who gather on the Temple Mount to pray.  This past Friday around 18,000 Palestinians assembled at the location.  It appears the Muslim worshipers gathered at the site without masks and reportedly as the number of Palestinians affected by the coronavirus has risen in East Jerusalem and the West Bank.
