Tuesday, the head of the Jordan Hotel Association (JHA) Abdel Hakeem al-Hindi called on the government to ban the entrance of those who have not been vaccinated against COVID-19 into tourist resorts.

He added that measures will be taken against employees in the tourism sector who do not wish to get vaccinated.

He noted that approximately 1,000 employees have been vaccinated in the Dead Sea area Tuesday. He added that the number is expected to rise to 2,000 employees Wednesday.
