Starting September 1, Jordan will implement the third phase of its reopening plan by cancelling its COVID-19 nightly curfew and allowing the majority of sectors and activities to operate at full capacity. Meanwhile, schools and universities will return to in-class education on their scheduled dates, according to safe protocols that guarantee the safety of students, faculty and staff. In the past months, Jordan had imposed numerous restrictions as part of the nation's efforts to limit the spread of COVID-19 and its variants. A nightly curfew was in force nationwide from 1am until 6am, while businesses were required to close by 23:59. Restaurants and cafes were permitted to operate at a limited capacity of 50 to 75 percent, provided that the total number of diners remains under 100. The new government’s reopening plan will go into effect after the country expanded its vaccination campaign. Jordan has rolled out a free inoculation program for more than 6 million its population of 11 million. More than 95 percent of teachers and school staff have already been vaccinated. On Monday, the Ministry of Health announced 15 COVID-19-related fatalities and 1,098 new infections, bringing the death toll to 10,398 and the caseload to 796,259.
