Two Syrian refugees at Jordan’s Azraq camp have tested positive for COVID-19, becoming the first confirmed cases to be reported inside a refugee camp in the kingdom, the UN said on Tuesday.

“These are the first confirmed cases of coronavirus inside refugee camps in Jordan,” the UN refugee agency (UNHCR) in Jordan said in a statement.

The positive test results came out on Monday evening, prompting the UN to move the two patients to facilities designated by Jordanian authorities to isolate Covid-19 patients.

Other refugees who were in direct contact with them have been tested and isolated inside the camp until the results come back, UNHCR added.
