The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test available in Jordan should still test positive for the new strain of the coronavirus, Secretary General of the Health Ministry for epidemiological affairs and the official in charge of the COVID-19 crisis, Wael Hayajneh, said Thursday.

During a press conference held at the Ministry, Hayajneh stated that the measures taken by Jordan to deal with this strain are in line with those adopted internationally, where several countries have suspended flights from/to the United Kingdom as a precaution for a period of two weeks.

"There is no evidence to suggest that the new strain of Covid-19 causes severe diseases," he added, noting that this strain was not the first of the virus, and it will not be the last.
