Jordan mulls self-isolation for COVID-19 patients ‘if caseload continues’

DUBAI: Some COVID-19 patients in Jordan will have to self-isolate if the country continues to record a rise in daily infections, in a new plan announced by State Minister for Media Affairs Amjad Adaileh.

Adaileh said this new plan will not include high-risk coronavirus patients such as the elderly and those who need medical attention, as well as those who have no means to self-isolate in their homes, as reported by state news agency Petra.

The plan is still in the works, the minister said, adding it will depend on the increase of cases across the country.
