Palestinian official Erekat undergoes bronchostomy

Associated Press|
A doctor treating Palestinian official Saeb Erekat for COVID-19 performed a bronchostomy on Wednesday to examine the condition of his respiratory system, his daughter said.
Salam Erekat said on Twitter that her father remained intubated and connected to an ECMO machine, which does the work of the lungs by transferring oxygen into blood.
She said it would take several days to get the results. "Hopefully things will take a better way. Pray for my father," said Salam Erekat, who herself is a physician.
