Extreme overcrowding in public comprehensive and primary health centers in Amman resulted in clear violations of defense orders Sunday, only a week after the launch of fixed COVID-19 testing sites.

Citizens complained that the Ministry of Health allocated small areas for large numbers of patients, making hard for citizens to abide by health and safety measures.

Citizens also expressed their frustration with people's lack of discipline and compliance with the queueing system, which caused chaos and overcrowding at health center entrances.
