Jordan Workers Disinfect The 'Rose Red City' of Petra

Published March 18th, 2020 - 07:48 GMT

Jordan took extraordinary steps to restrict the movement of people in an attempt to stop the spread of the coronavirus.

A government directive ordered the closure of all non-essential organizations and institutions, and the limit of travel to essential services. Travel within districts will be restricted except for those on important humanitarian work.

Jordan also announced that 4,700 people, mostly Jordanians, who recently arrived from abroad are under a 14-day quarantine, with most of them in hotels in Amman and the Dead Sea area. The number of people affected by the virus in the country stands at 35.
