Jordan to enter new COVID wave at beginning of winter season: expert – Roya News English

Dr. Rima Hajjo, a medical and genetic information professor, told Roya Sunday that a new coronavirus wave will occur between the end of the fall season and the beginning of winter.

She pointed out that the new wave will be less severe than the previous waves as a result of people receiving vaccinations, in addition to having a societal immunity that prevents them from being affected as it was in previous years.

Jordan recorded five deaths and 3,946 new coronavirus cases in one week (from Aug. 20 until Aug. 26), according to the weekly COVID-19 statistical report issued by the Ministry of Health every Sunday. The total death toll reached 14,110.
