Hijjawi said that the ease of
restrictions imposed by the pandemic will apply everywhere, including in
mosques and all other facilities, provided that
Defense Order 35, which
stipulates that only citizens that received two doses of the vaccine and adhere
to public safety measures may enter public premises.
Hijjawi said that the
epidemiological situation indicates that the peak of the current wave was reached
on February 11, when the number of infections reached 22,700, and the positivity
rate was 30 percent, adding that “the pandemic is still going on and a new
mutant may appear that, we hope, will not spread faster than Omicron”.
In the context of elections and
in-person education, Hijjawi said that elections are a constitutional right and
citizens wishing to vote should do so but not without having taken the two
doses of
vaccine and following public safety protocols, and that the return to schools
may raise the number of infections, but it will not pose a threat to the
educational process.
