Amman, March 22 (SocialNews.XYZ) Jordan will ease Covid-19 restrictions during the upcoming holy Islamic month of Ramadan, Minister of State for Media Affairs Feisal Shboul has said.
The new measures follow recommendations by the National Epidemiological Committee, Shboul was quoted by the state-run Petra news agency as saying on Monday.
The measures include canceling physical distancing at mosques and churches, and removing the obligatory measure to wear masks in open places, but wearing masks in gatherings in closed areas is still needed, Xinhua news agency reported.
