MP Ali Al-Tarawneh suggested Sunday that the government meeting with MPs will result in the reduction of curfew hours starting Monday, April 26, becoming 11pm for establishments and 12am for citizens.

He also said that Friday lockdown would be cancelled. However, all sectors will not be re-opened. 

Tarawneh said that the meeting with the government, which is set to be held later Sunday, will be informal, noting that the expected decisions will not meet the demands of the parliament to reopen all sectors.

Parliament Speaker Abdel Moneim Al-Awdat said that many sectors are exhausted, including some that are no longer able to continue due to financial strains. He pointed out that a number of deputies signed a parliamentary memorandum calling on the government to reconsider the restrictions imposed on Jordanians.

Sunday, the government will hold a meeting in the House of Representatives in the presence of Prime Minister Bisher Al-Khasawneh and the Parliamentary Health Committee, to discuss the mitigating measures that will be taken in the remaining days of Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr.
