Ammon News - More than 24,000 people in the Mafraq governorate have received the COVID-19 vaccine since the start of the national immunization campaign, said Hani Alimat, Director of the Mafraq Health Department.

In a statement on Thursday, Alimat indicated that the health map and the epidemiological situation in the governorate is similar to the rest of the Kingdom, noting that efforts are focused on reducing the percentage of positive coronavirus tests from 12 - 13 percent (the current percentage) to less than 5 percent over the next few weeks. In this sense, he urged citizens to commit to public safety measures, wear face masks, and implement social distancing.
