And revealed the Jordanian Ministry of Health on Wednesday on suspicion of coronavirus disease, injuries to 124 people in Jordan.
The ministry said in a statement it was sending samples from these patients to the center of American control of communicable diseases to ascertain their health status.
The statement stressed that he did not record any new case of the virus in Jordan since the death of two cases in a blue state hospital in April last year.

So the samples are all from suspected cases from no later than April of 2012 and there have been no new cases in Jordan since then?
