On Sunday, a Jordanian doctor called Munther Al-Zabin died in Libya, after having had a stroke and suffering from the consequences of contracting the coronavirus.
Al-Zabin’s family, represented by his brother Dr. Yasser, had called on the Jordanian authorities on Saturday to take action and transfer the doctor to Jordan, due to his critical health condition.
Dr. Yasser confirmed that the health condition of the Munther was very critical, and contact was made with the Jordanian embassy in Tunis, but no action was taken until Sunday morning.
According to some Jordanian newspapers, it is noteworthy that Al-Zabin was infected with the coronavirus four days ago, in addition to suffering a stroke, which resulted in him being placed in the intensive care unit in the Eastern City Hospital in Misurata.
