A total of five COVID patients are receiving treatment in hospitals across Jordan, the Secretary-General of the Ministry of Health for Primary Health Care and Epidemiology Affairs Raed Shboul said Sunday.

Shboul added that no cases of cholera were recorded in Jordan in 2022.

Earlier Sunday, Shboul revealed that the Health Ministry had met with the Epidemiology Committee several days ago, to discuss imposing new measures on those coming from China, following the high number of coronavirus cases the Asian country has been witnessing.

Shboul told Roya that the ministry is looking to take new measures but no decision has been made yet.
