Jordan reported 9,417 new coronavirus infections in the past 24 hours, its highest one-day tally since the pandemic began about a year ago, official health data showed on Monday.
The new cases were up from 8,053 reported on Sunday in the Arab country of 10 million people. In total, Jordan has recorded 401,319 cases since March last year along with 5,428 deaths including 82 over the past 24 hours.
Jordan is suffering a spike in COVID-19 infections attributed mainly to the faster transmission of the coronavirus variant first identified in Britain, and announced stricter measures to curb the spread of COVID-19 last week.
