The National Center for the Control of Epidemics and Communicable Diseases in Jordan announced that the number of Corona infections in the Kingdom has exceeded one million.

Dr. Azmi Mohafaza, a member of the National Center for the Control of Epidemics and Communicable Diseases, said revealed that the total number of infections in Jordan is now more than a million infections.

He warned that most of which are undetected so far.

In statements to "Al-Mamlaka" Channel, he confirmed that the number of Corona infections recorded daily in Jordan “does not represent the real number on the ground."

He stated that every recorded infection with the virus corresponds to 10 to 30 undiscovered infections.

He also added that Jordan is at the fourth level of the fourth stage of the outbreak.

Dr. Mohafaza indicated that it is the most extreme stage of the virus's spread.

However, the officially announced figures issued by the Prime Minister and the Jordanian Ministry of Health indicate that the total number of cases recorded in

Jordan reached 143678 infections as of Sunday, while the number of deaths reached 1772 deaths.

On his part, Jordanian Minister of Health Nazir Obeidat said that the statements issued by medical experts are not properly understood and that what is issued by the official authorities and the Ministry of Health is the real thing, otherwise, it is understood in a wrong way.

Obeidat indicated in statements to "Al-Ghad" newspaper today, Monday, that "the statements of the former minister, Azmi Mohafaza, mean that the expected number of infections with the Coronavirus  since the start of the pandemic may reach one million citizens, and this does not mean that we now have a million infected."

Regarding the statements of the former Minister of Health, Dr. Saad Al-Kharabsheh, Obeidat pointed out that "Jordan's arrival in the fourth stage in the future means the peak of the expected infections, and it does not mean that the country at the peak now.
