Spokesman for the national committee for epidemics at the Ministry of Health Nathir Obaidat confirmed that the health condition of the COVID-19 patients is good, except for two, who are listed in moderate health conditions.

He explained that the patients listed in moderate conditions are old.

"A number of people quarantined in the Dead Sea and Amman hotels are suspected of having the virus and they undergo medical examinations," Obaidat exclusively told Roya.

Regarding those who attended a wedding in Irbid, after which a number of the attendees tested positive for the virus, Obaidat confirmed that it's hard to test all of them unless they report that they were among the attendees.

He stressed that there are official bodies other than the Health Ministry try to find those who had direct contact with the infected citizens who attended the wedding and test them.

"It's hard to conduct a coronavirus examination for every citizen and it is not expected that people would test positive unless they show symptoms."

He called on citizens to adhere to the rules and regulations of quarantine, not to have direct contact with each other and stay at home.
