Hawari also continued to stress the importance of intensive
vaccination campaigns countrywide.
Four types of COVID-19 vaccines are available for Jordanians and
residents alike, said Hawari.
Jordanians have received some 6 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines,
Hawari added, stressing that vaccination is the best and only way to protect
the Kingdom and curb the virus’ spread.
Hawari said that the full return to in-class education in public
and private schools is one of the ministry’s strategic goals to reach a “safe
summer”, adding that the ministry has put a plan in place to achieve this goal
in collaboration with all stakeholders.
He indicated that 85 percent of school educational staff have
received two COVID-19 doses, noting that well trained teams affiliated to the ministry
will conduct random PCR tests in schools to get insights about the
epidemiological situation there.
