The security guard that tested positive for coronavirus in Mafraq came into contact with approximately 300 people, all of which tested negative for COVID-19, said the governor of Mafraq, Yasser Al-Adwan spoke, on Monday.

No decision has been made regarding the reopening of the Jaber Border Crossing and the decision to do so has to be in cooperation with the government, which will be announced by the Minister of Interior.

The government is currently conducting restructuring work at the Jaber Border Crossing, which includes organising lanes and reducing movement and mixing, he told Roya.

The processes of modernizing infrastructure and ensuring coronavirus does not enter the Kingdom through that border again are ongoing and have reached their final stages.
