Jordan court jails health officials over Covid-19 oxygen deaths

The court found the former director of the state hospital in Salt, a city west of the capital Amman, and four of his senior aides responsible for the deaths, the media said. The patients, who were being treated in the hospital, died in March when staff failed to act after oxygen ran out in a Covid-19 ward for nearly an hour.

Health minister Nathir Obeidat resigned hours after the incident and in a public apology, Prime Minister Bisher Al-Khasawneh said his government bore full responsibility for the incident. The royal visit was intended to defuse tensions in a country where anger with the authorities has in the past triggered widespread civil unrest.

Geesh please send that judiciary to SA
