Jordan reported the first death from coronavirus, a woman in her 80s.
Jordan registered 23 new cases on Friday, bringing the total in the country to 235, the health minister said.
On the fifth day of full curfew in Jordan, the government has decided to allow the opening of pharmacies, small supermarkets, bakeries and drinking water shops so that people are able to purchase the items they need. Under strict rules of social distancing, shoppers are allowed inside the stores, but only in small numbers at a time and after taking precautionary disinfection measures. Bigger supermarkets will be allowed to sell online for home delivery starting on 26 March.
