The chief commissioner of the CARC, Haitham Misto, indicated on Friday that there are no scheduled direct flights between Jordan and South Africa.
The CARC's announcements came in light of scientists' discovery of a new COVID-19 strain on Thursday, noting that the mutant B.1.1.529 shows a very high number of mutations and can spread very quickly, according to Al-Mamlaka News.
