Jordan is heading towards reopening its airports for regular international flights but with stringent COVID-19 containment measures, the Health Minister, Saad Jaber, said during an interview with Al-Mamlaka on Sunday.

"There is no clear decision yet, but things are most likely going towards opening the airport with health restrictions which are the toughest in the world," said Jaber.

Those arriving in Jordan from ‘red status’ countries will be subject to a 14-day quarantine and if they are arriving from 'yellow status' countries they will be subject to a seven-day quarantine, Jaber added.

Meanwhile, those entering from 'green status' countries will be able to do so without the need to quarantine, he added.

Everyone entering Jordan will have to do a PCR test before departure, and then a second test on arrival at the country’s airports, Jaber added.

He added that Jordan is considering listing the United Arab Emirates as a green country.
