Jordan’s international airport resumed regularly scheduled international flights on Tuesday. The Hashemite Kingdom has had success fighting COVID-19, but its strict travel and movement restrictions have created hardship for citizens and residents.

Queen Alia International Airport outside of Amman will have six flights a day for now, Reuters reported. This number will increase as the airport readies itself to further implement strict health and social distancing guidelines, according to the outlet.
