Khasawneh said
that over the last three years, Jordan, like most countries in the world, has
been witnessing one of the most difficult crisis in human history, the COVID-19
pandemic, whose extensive negative impact challenged most expectations and
strategies.
He stressed that
the pandemic clearly proved the need for a continuous review of strategies
related to crises and disasters.
“We have overcome
the corona crisis, and have come a long way on the road to recovery, thanks to
the directives of HRH, Crown Prince Hussein, as well as of the efforts of all
state institutions,” the premier said.
He stressed that dealing
with COVID-19 was “not easy; we established field hospitals and equipped them,
employed thousands of health cadres, and provided millions of doses of
vaccines, in addition to spending on business sustainability and supporting
those affected”.
