the resignation of former labor minister Maen Qatamin from his position as of
March 8, one day after his swearing-in, while another Royal Decree was issued
dismissing health minister Nathir Obeidat from his position as of March 13,
following the death of seven COVID-19 patients at Salt Public Hospital due to
