AMMAN, Oct. 24 (Xinhua) -- Jordan said Saturday it will open three land border crossings for passenger movement starting from Oct. 29.
Minister of State for Media Affairs Ali Al-Ayed said the government had endorsed the necessary health protocol prepared by the committee of organizing border crossings.
The decision seeks to "strike a balance" between bringing home stranded Jordanians and controlling the rate of imported COVID cases, said Al-Ayed, who is also the government spokesperson, according to the state-run Petra news agency.
The border crossings to receive passengers during this phase will be limited to the al-Mudawara crossing, the King Hussein Bridge, and the Sheikh Hussein Bridge, according to procedures that take into consideration the number of passengers at each of the crossings, the minister added. Enditem
