Jordan to isolate city near Syria after coronavirus spike
Jordan will seal off a city near the Syrian border from Monday following the largest daily rise in four months in coronavirus infections, which officials say have come mainly from its northern neighbour. The health ministry said half of the 39 cases recorded in the last 24 hours were from Ramtha city, near the Syrian border. Officials say truck drivers and individuals entering the kingdom from the Jaber border crossing with Syria are spreading the virus.
