Jordan to continue night curfew ‘even after virus outbreak contained’ – govt | Jordan to continue night curfew ‘even after virus outbreak contained’ – govt |
(about 1 hour later) | |
The Jordanian government will continue to impose a daily night curfew even after containing the spread of the new coronavirus and allowing businesses to reopen and more movement, it has announced. | |
Government spokesman Amjad Adailah said on Tuesday that the cabinet, which imposed a curfew on March 21 after enacting emergency laws that gave the government sweeping powers, would also continue to impose a weekend lockdown. | |
“We have contained the outbreak, but the danger is real, and the possibility of its return is real and serious,” Adailah said. Jordanians took to the streets after a ban was lifted on driving, and many businesses reopened in a rapid return to normality after the authorities relaxed a tough curfew lasting nearly 50 days which was put in place to stem the spread of the coronavirus, Reuters said. | |
PM Omar al-Razzaz said on state television that the country’s early tight lockdown measures had brought results that were far better than expected. The country has had a total of 465 cases and nine deaths. The government has not registered any coronavirus cases for the eighth day in a row, according to Razzaz. |
