Jordan to launch doorstep food deliveries during round-the-clock lockdown
Jordan extends its round-the-clock curfew indefinitely in an effort to combat the novel coronavirus.
With supermarkets closed and a nationwide curfew in effect, Jordan will launch a doorstep delivery service to feed its millions of citizens ordered to stay indoors.
Beginning Tuesday, residents will be delivered basic supplies, such as bread, water and medicine. Municipalities, water companies and large businesses that normally deliver to local businesses will be making the deliveries, said Minister of State for Media Affairs Amjad Adaile.
Jordanian authorities announced today that what was initially meant to be a three-day round-the-clock curfew would be extended indefinitely.
"The curfew will remain in place until further notice and you must stay at home and refrain from violating the precautionary instructions," Adaile told a news conference.
