Under the new measures, people who have been
in contact with infected persons are not required to quarantine, and
PCR tests are no longer mandatory for Jordanians or visitors arriving in the Kingdom at
airports, or by land and sea crossings.
Furthermore, PCR tests are no longer a requirement for the attendance of
concerts and weddings, provided that there is no violation of
Defense Order No. 35, which requires that people have received two shots of vaccine as a
condition to enter public and private facilities.
Hawari said other measures include in-person
education even in the event of a rise in COVID-19 cases of up to 10
percent. Instead of going back to online
education, students and teachers with
COVID-19 will be isolated for 5 days as
of the date of a positive e PCR test, without the need to get tested again to
go back to school at the end of five days.
Under the new measures, a weekly report of
the epidemiological situation in the Kingdom will be issued instead of
reporting on the number of infections on daily basis.
Hawari noted that the pandemic has not come
to an end and any related decisions will depend on the international status of
the
pandemic, stressing that the only way to beat COVID-19 is vaccination.
