The outbreak is on the decline Jordan lifted a full-day ban on Friday

April 28, local time, the Jordanian government announced that it would lift Friday’s all-day ban from April 30, allowing people to walk to public places such as mosques and parks on Fridays, and shops and some businesses to open on Fridays. Meanwhile, a curfew will remain in place every evening.

Jordan’s health minister, Firas Al-Hawari, said that while there was a downward trend in the number of confirmed cases of Coronavirus pandemic every day in Jordan, the government was still preparing for a possible third wave, including expanding the capacity of the health care system, given that the previous second outbreak was only two weeks away from the first and was more severe than the first.
