Jordan’s Health Ministry announced that it detected the first two cases of the Omicron variant.
The Health Ministry detected the first Omicron case in a Jordanian individual returning from South Africa, who was quarantined right after in a hotel in the capital, Amman.
The second case is linked to a Jordanian citizen who has no recent travel history outside Jordan. He is also quarantined in a hotel.
World Health Organization (WHO) said the new Omicron variant is a highly transmissible virus of concern.
The average number of new cases reported each day in Jordan rises by more than 2,200 over the last 3 weeks, 27% of its previous peak, according to Reuters’latest COVID tracker on December 10.
