Jordan says it is easing COVID-related restrictions on foreign visitors, taking a key step toward reviving its critical tourism industry.
Jordan’s Tourism Board says that, as of March 1, visitors will no longer be required to take a PCR test before entering the country or take another PCR test upon arrival at airports and other entry points.
Visitors will still have to sign a pledge to get tested if they feel coronavirus symptoms and agree to self-isolate if they contract COVID-19.
“We hope the relaxing of previous restrictions will help once again the recovery of tourism to the kingdom and ease access for travelers planning their trips to Jordan,” says Abed Al-Razzaq Arabiyat, the tourism board’s managing director.
