The U.S. government has provided at least $8 million in COVID-19 assistance to Jordan.

"That includes $6.5 million in humanitarian assistance to support COVID-19 response efforts to help refugees in Jordan, and $1.5 million in health assistance, which will support case management to build resilience and stop the spread of the disease, as well as laboratory strengthening for large-scale testing of COVID-19," according to a statement posted on the U.S Embassy in Jordan's official Facebook page. 

The US also is spearheading donor support to the Jordanian government, coordinating life-saving assistance and prioritizing investments to respond rapidly now and to plan ahead as the COVID-19 threat evolves.

U.S. assistance to Jordan in the last 20 years alone totals more than $18.9 billion, including more than $1.8 billion in health assistance.

"The U.S.-Jordanian relationship, built over seven decades, is stronger than ever, as we work together to fight the COVID-19 pandemic."
