The security services have isolated a residential building in the southern Marka area of Amman on Sunday evening, June 7, after a new coronavirus case was recorded in the area. 

The Amman Governor, Saad Shihab, told Roya last evening that the building was isolated following directives by the National Committee for Epidemics and the Ministry of Health. 

An informed source said that the infected is a dentist and the concerned bodies are checking on how he contracted the virus. 

The same source confirmed that the infected has recently tested positive after he felt sick and went to Al-Bashir Hospital to get a health checkup.
