Jordan’s Crown Prince Hussein contracts COVID

The crown prince, who had received the vaccine against the virus, showed mild symptoms, the royal court said.

Jordan’s Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II has contracted COVID-19 and his parents – King Abdullah II and Queen Rania, who tested negative – will protectively self-isolate for five days, the palace has 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 on Monday.

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