Reuters reported that protests erupted in several Jordanian cities and towns against government restrictions to combat the Corona virus, a day after 7 people died of the virus in Salt Hospital after running out of oxygen.
Hundreds of people gathered in the streets, defying the night curfew in the northern city of Irbid, and in several other cities, including Salt and a neighborhood of the capital, Amman.
Protesters also gathered in the southern city of Karak and the coastal city of Aqaba.
The Jordanian Royal Court announced, against the background of the Salt Hospital incident, the dismissal of the Minister of Health, Nazir Obeidat, and the assignment of Mazen Abdullah Al-Faraya, Minister of Interior, to manage the Ministry of Health.
