DUBAI: Jordan will stop isolating buildings affected by coronavirus and will instead require people with the virus or might have encountered those infected, to self-quarantine at home until they receive their test results, state news agency Petra reported citing Minister of State for Media Affairs Amjad Adaileh.
Adaileh said the new measure was taken following a meeting held on Monday by the Coronavirus Crisis Cell.
The minister also said the decision to place children under 18-years-old under home quarantine has been made based on the recommendation of the health ministry and after a thorough examination of all pertinent aspects.
He added that “the guardians of the infected children will have to make a written undertaking to home quarantine their children and their contacts,” the report said. They are obliged to stay home until the results come out, it added.
Authorities said violators of the law will be subject to three years in prison and/or a $4,231 fine.
