Jordan’s school holiday could be extended ‘to break Covid cycle’ – The National

A new coronavirus wave could lead to an extended winter break for schoolchildren in Jordan, a senior official said on Monday, amid confusion about when schools will resume.

The Education Ministry announced on Sunday that the start of the second term would be postponed until February 20 due to high infection rates among the population.

But the ministry then said this was not the case, without giving a reason.
