AMMAN — Minister of State for Media Affairs Sakher Dudin raised the alarm as the COVID-19 test positivity rates reached 4.44 per cent.
Dudin, who is also the government spokesperson, said that the sharp increase in the percentage of tests returning a positive result, known as the positive rate, is alarming, stressing that the recent negative developments in the epidemiological situation require increasing turnout for vaccination and higher commitment to precautionary measures.
