During the meeting, attended by His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II, King Abdullah stressed the importance of stepping up coronavirus disease (COVID-19) testing, as a number of sectors gradually resume operation, to safeguard citizens’ health and safety.
His Majesty called for boosting the morale of Jordanians under the current exceptional circumstances by introducing programmes across the governorates that adhere to the necessary health precautions.
At the meeting, also attended by His Royal Highness Prince Feisal bin Al Hussein, adviser to His Majesty and NPC chairperson, the King underscored the need to clarify each of the government’s latest measures, which are in the best interest of citizens and aim to facilitate various procedures for them.
For his part, Prime Minister Omar Razzaz highlighted government measures for Ramadan the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar, when Muslims abstain from food and drink from dawn to sunset in coordination with the Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army and security agencies.
