AMMAN — The government will announce on Monday a set of
decisions regarding restrictions during the month of Ramadan, Minister of State
for Media Affairs and Government Spokesperson Sakher Dudin said on Wednesday.

In remarks to Jordan News, said that a number of proposals,
based on the demands of citizens and merchants, are listed for endorsement on
the agenda of the Council of Ministers meeting on Monday, adding that he
expects the Cabinet to approve the measures, as they do not impact public
health regulations and social distancing requirements.
Among these measures, according to Dudin, is allowing people
to attend maghreb (sunset) and fajr (sunrise) prayers on foot at mosques, while
adhering to health and precautionary protocols, such as wearing masks and
maintaining social distancing.
Another proposal would allow facilities to remain open until
7pm, instead of 6pm, and permit delivery services to operate after midnight,
according to the minister.
Dudin, however, said that it is unlikely that the new
decisions would allow for holding ishaa (evening) and tarawih (special optional
prayers held in Ramadan following ishaa prayers) prayers in mosques.
