A total of 135 PCR tests were conducted following the diagnosis of two coronavirus infections at the King Hussein Cancer Center on Wednesday, all of which produced negative results, the Assistant Director-General of the King Hussein Cancer Center, Munther al-Hawarat, told Roya.

Every person who was in contact with the infected people will be found and tested, said al-Hawarat.

He said of the two nurses who were found to have the virus, one works in the dental clinic and the other works as a therapeutic radiographer.

Both cases caught the infection from one of their family members, said al-Hawarat.

Everyone who works at the King Hussein Cancer Center and received a COVID-19 test will be given 14-day leave, he added.
