AMMAN — Member of the
National Epidemiological Committee Bassam Al-Hijjawi said that the Kingdom’s exposure to
new waves of COVID-19 is “possible”, despite the stability of the number of
cases which are less than 500 cases per week, and less than 5 deaths, according
to Al-Ghad News.

Hijjawi indicated that the Kingdom suffered from the
Omicron strain of the virus, especially during the fourth wave, and if any new
wave is caused by this variant, it will not have a significant impact on the
Kingdom’s health system.
He pointed out that despite the current positive
health indicators, the public should be careful and get vaccinated, wear masks,
and follow health protocols.
Adviser to the Prime
Minister for Health Affairs Adel Al-Balbisi, responsible for the COVID-19 dossier, confirmed that it is too
early to talk about the end of the pandemic, and that there are criteria for
the World Health Organization to announce the end of the pandemic.
Epidemiologist
Abdul Rahman Al-Maani said that the return of high rate of infections in some
countries points to expectations of new waves, especially in countries that did
not witness sufficient vaccination measures.
