Secretary-General of Primary Health Care Administration Ghazi Sharkas on Thursday urged the public to fully abide by health protocols and guidelines, issued by concerned authorities as the third and final phase of the Kingdom’s plan to reopen sectors came into force on September 1st.
Speaking to the Jordan News Agency (Petra), Sharkas said that post-covid protocols are aimed at stabilizing the epidemiological situation and mitigating the potential spread of COVID-19, mainly the delta variant.
The final phase of post-covid reopening entails the return to normalcy, including in-person education and the full reopening of economy.
“People need to continue combining proper social distancing with mask wearing to stop the spread of the virus which is still present in our community and risks an increase in the number of infections,” he said.
The health official reaffirmed the importance of the COVID-19 vaccine as a global public good to curb the spread of the virus, noting that Jordan has made good strides with the vaccination process, but many still need to get their second dose to have longer immunity and stronger protection.
