"The in-class education will continue, but more caution, cautious, adherence to the health protocol, wearing masks and encouraging parents and students to receive the vaccine to protect them, are required," a senior education official announced.

Secretary-General of the Ministry of Education for Technical and Financial Affairs, Najwa Qbailat, told the Jordan News Agency (Petra) on Tuesday that the Ministry monitors infections on a daily basis and follows up with the Ministry of Health and the National Centre for Security and Crisis Management (NCSCM) on all matters related to the situation in schools as part of its keenness to take care of students' health and safety.

The Covid-19 active infection rate is currently at 0.5% of the total number of students and workers in the education sector.
