Jordan extends coronavirus curfew, to deliver food to homes nationwide

Jordan said on Monday it would extend a curfew indefinitely, with supermarkets and other stores closed, and deliver food across the country to try to rein in the coronavirus.

Minister of State for Media Amjad Adailah said the government had made arrangements with municipal councils to deliver enough bread, water, gas cylinders and basic medicines across the country for the rest of the week.

“We have to prepare ourselves for a difficult period,” Adailah said.
