Jordan’s government order to reopen economic sectors “gradually and safely” came into effect on Tuesday and will be applied within a three-month period as it attempts to return to normal following the coronavirus pandemic.
Sports centers and academies, fitness centers, sports clubs, indoor swimming pools in hotels and residential and tourist complexes, public swimming pools, equestrian clubs, academies and vocational and technical training centers resumed operation and were allowed to open in accordance within specified working hours.
Also, Turkish and oriental baths, billiards and snooker centers, arcade games centers, amusement parks and indoor children’s playing areas reopened their doors on Tuesday.
The decision further included cinemas, educational and cultural centers and health clubs. It allowed the serving of hookahs outdoors at squares, restaurants, cafes and hotel facilities.
Starting mid-June, people who received the first shot of the COVID-19 vaccine will be able to move and roam the kingdom’s cities during curfew hours.
Under the decision, people wishing to visit the opened facilities will have to present their ID card, health verification code or vaccination certificate through the “Sanad” mobile app. Violators may face a fine of up to 50 dinars.
Jordan has confirmed 737,284 infections and 9,472 deaths since the beginning of the pandemic.
