At 4 am today (23rd), the government gazetted and blocked Jordan’s designated "restricted areas". Residents must stay at home and undergo compulsory testing. This is a precedent for the implementation of no foot testing.

Xu Shuchang, a government expert and chair professor of the Department of Respiratory System at the Chinese University of China, said that the number of confirmed cases in Jordan has been increasing recently, and sewage monitoring has continued to show positive results. It is expected that through this lockdown, at least asymptomatic infections can be found to reduce the spread to other communities.

When asked whether one test is enough, Xu Shuchang said that it will depend on the results at that time, if the positive rate is high or another test needs to be arranged.

Xu Shuchang, a government expert and chair professor of the Department of Respiratory System at the Chinese University of China, said that the expert consultant discussed with the government a week ago whether to implement a foot-free order to cooperate with compulsory testing. At that time, the government believed that the residents in the relevant area had a high rate of automatic participation in the testing and that there was already environmental pollution in some homes. It is not suitable for implementation, but the number of confirmed cases in Jordan has been increasing recently, and sewage monitoring has continued to be positive.

When asked whether one test is enough, Xu Shuchang said that it will depend on the results at that time. If the positive rate is high or the test needs to be arranged again, as to whether the foot test should be banned again at that time, he pointed out that the expert group will provide advice in principle and how to implement it. Implementation is determined by the government.

Residents who move out at night must still be subject to mandatory testing

Xu Shuchang said that a total of 3,000 people have been mobilized this time to complete the test and have results for the affected approximately 10,000 people. The time limit for the lockdown has been reduced to 48 hours, and the affected citizens are urged to cooperate. Asymptomatic infected persons can cut off the chain of transmission and avoid spreading to other communities.

He is worried that some residents will move out before the ban has been announced, but they are still subject to compulsory testing. I believe the government will try to track them down.

The government announced that anyone who has been in all premises in the "restricted area" for more than two hours in the past 14 days must also undergo mandatory testing before midnight on January 23.

In addition, Sham Shui Po has also been included in the designated area for mandatory testing earlier. He pointed out that the government has tightened the relevant area as long as a building has a confirmed case, or sewage monitoring is positive for three consecutive days, mandatory testing is also required. As for Sham Shui Po Whether it will ban foot testing and how to define the scale of the impact, Xu Shuchang said that it depends on whether there is a situation similar to Jordan, and the government considers it.
