[Jordan cordon] Independent Media reporter barred from leaving restricted area; police follow and obstruct reporting, warn of ticketing
【佐敦封區】獨媒記者留疫區被禁足 警尾隨阻採訪、警告或票控
The government, for the first time, cordoned off an area for quarantine, announcing at 4am that parts of Jordan had been designated a “restricted area”. Residents within the area were required to undergo compulsory testing and could leave only after receiving confirmation of a negative result. Police repeatedly obstructed a reporter interviewing at a testing station in the area, saying that residents were required to remain there. They also followed the reporter and warned that the reporting must stop or the reporter would be issued a ticket.
政府首次以檢疫為由封區，凌晨4時宣布圍封佐敦部分社區為「受限區域」，範圍內的居民須接受強制檢測，並確認結果為陰性後才可離開。記者在區域內的檢測站採訪遭警員多番阻礙，指區內有禁足要求，更尾隨記者警告必須停止採訪，否則將會被票控。
