AMMAN — Member of the
National Committee for Epidemiology Najwa Khoury told
Jordan News that there are
concerns about an expected increase in COVID-19 cases, adding that “it is our
responsibility to not let the cases increase, "we have to adhere to the
safety measures, such as committing to the masks and social distancing, and to
also take the three doses of the vaccine to raise our immunity".

Khoury said that the cadres of the
Ministry of Health are conducting thousands of
PCR tests every day, and that despite
the fact that the percentage of positive tests is high, not all infected cases
are symptomatic or need medication and hospitals, “which is a good indication
that the epidemiological situation in Jordan is still under control".
According to Khoury, there are always
concerns because the
Omicron variant, in particular, spreads rapidly, but "there
is nothing we can do except adhering to the safety measures and taking the
vaccine".
So far, according to the Ministry of
Health data, more than 13,000 people died in Jordan as a result of the virus.
According to the global “Word Meter”
website, which specializes in monitoring statistics on the coronavirus
epidemic, the total number of cases around the world reached some 331,6 million,
of which about 269,1 million were cured. The virus has claimed the lives of
about 5,5 million people around the world.
