“Your Majesty, may God preserve him, presided over a meeting of the National Policy Council today, in the presence of His Highness the Crown Prince - may God protect him - and emphasized the necessity of completing the plan for the return of Jordanian students abroad according to a comprehensive, fair and carefully studied mechanism,

Create a national database that includes details of the strategic stockpile in various sectors, especially industrial, medical and agricultural, and take steps to support daily workers quickly.

In response to the royal directives, the Prime Minister will announce tomorrow, Thursday, the government program to support daily workers, and a series of important measures and decisions to support workers in the affected economic establishments, and protect them from the effects of joblessness, through the General Organization for Social Security

The curfew procedures and the mitigation of citizens in some governorates that have not recorded any cases of injury will be modified. We will start in the Aqaba Special Economic Zone, starting next Sunday morning, and we will announce the details of the new procedures later.

The continued easing of procedures on citizens depends on the extent of their commitment, and the use of means of prevention and precaution, and in the event of violations or injuries, the aggravated prohibitions will return as they were previously.

I confirm here that, before mitigating the procedures in any region, the epidemiological investigation teams will conduct random large-scale examinations, which was confirmed by His Majesty the King today.

Today, Prime Minister Dr. Omar Al-Razaz issued Defense Orders 7 and 8, which include procedures and decisions related to the continuity of education in educational institutions of all categories, and the adoption of modern technological means in education, training and student assessment.

Through this procedure, we seek to turn the challenge into an opportunity, by expanding distance education.

We received information about people who concealed their HIV infection, or had contact with infected people, and thus transmitted the infection to others; this is a crime punishable by law. The relevant authorities have identified and arrested them, and investigations are underway.

These irresponsible practices are among the most important reasons that led us to issue Defense Order No. (8).

Considering the expected economic impacts due to the repercussions of the Coruna epidemic, and with the aim of proposing economic policies and programs that would overcome economic difficulties and repercussions and invest opportunities;

Prime Minister Dr. Omar Al-Razaz decided to form an economic policy advisory council under his chairmanship, and for membership of experts from the public and private sectors, and civil society institutions.

Regarding permits for humanitarian and emergency cases, governors and administrative governors have been empowered to deal with them and take necessary steps in their regard.

In conclusion, I say: May God protect you, protect your health and your loved ones, and protect the nation and its leadership and humanity as a whole from the evil of this epidemic. We are at your service, and our success is with your commitment. "
