  • Lifting lockdown will be considered after the Kingdom confirms zero cases for three weeks in a row

DUBAI: Lifting the lockdown in Jordan depends on the country’s current health situation, state news agency Petra reported citing the Minister of State for Media Affairs Amjad Adaileh, adding that such a decision will be considered after the Kingdom confirms zero coronavirus cases for three weeks in a row.
"There is no specific time to completely reopen the country and resume operations as normal," he told Al-Araby TV, adding that the country’s ability to kill the virus depended on the neighboring Arab countries’ ability to eliminate it.
