Jordan's crown prince contracts coronavirus

Jordan's Crown Prince Hussein has contracted coronavirus and his parents King Abdullah and Queen Rania, who tested negative, will protectively self-isolate for five days, the palace said.

“His Highness Prince Hussein, who had received the vaccine against the coronavirus, showed mild symptoms and is in very good health,” the Royal Court said in a statement, according to Reuters.

The 27-year-old prince has in the last year increased his public appearances and is seen regularly at most of the important meetings King Abdullah attends with local and foreign dignitaries.
