Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - State Minister for Media Affairs, Amjad Adaileh, on Monday, announced that pharmacies and bakeries will open as of Tuesday but will not sell directly to citizens, explaining that drug and bread supplies will be solely delivered by municipalities, water distribution companies and other partners.
