He said that this has
enabled the Kingdom to have a safe summer and start procedures for reopening
sectors.
During a lecture delivered at the Pediatricians' Club in the North of the
country recently, Dr. Hajjawi reviewed the pandemic's development in Jordan,
and the measures taken to control the disease.
He spoke about the national vaccination program, which was launched in 1979,
and which provides all the listed inoculations to all citizens and residents in
Jordan free of charge.
Dr. Hajjawi said that the various health sector partnerships in Jordan helped boost
the health system's resilience, which enabled it to deal with
COVID-19 patients, reduce infection rates and related complications by constantly
updating treatment protocols and working jointly to confront this pandemic.
Noting the health care sector's coordinated anti-pandemic response, he said the
joint effort has yielded "positive" results that mitigated the
pandemic's repercussions and reduced the period of blanket closures. All of
this despite the false information and rumors that contributed to people
failing to comply with approved preventive measures.
Despite the decline in COVID-19 cases to about seven percent, and deaths
globally to ten percent, in recent weeks, the situation was shown to be
"still dynamic, not globally controlled, and the danger stage isn't over
yet," Dr. Hajjawi said.
He also stressed the importance of COVID-19 vaccinations and to ensure its
equitable distribution to all countries worldwide in order to arrive at
community immunity, all while maintaining precautionary measures.
