George Wassouf's concert in Jordan causes the dismissal of the Jerash Festival director

By a decision of the Minister of Tourism in Jordan, Mazen Kawar was appointed as the executive director of the festival, instead of Ayman Samawi.

This decision came after the concert of singer George Wassouf, and because of the large public gathering, in the absence of measures to prevent the Corona virus.

Videos spread of the stands that were filled with the public, and the lack of commitment to the precautionary measures for the Corona virus.

The newspapers stated that what appeared in the video clips contradicts the protocols and instructions of the Epidemiology Committee and government decisions that theaters should operate at half their capacity, which did not happen at George Wassouf’s concert, where the theater was almost completely filled, but Ayman Samawi stated that the number of attendees at the concert George Wassouf did not exceed 3500 people, and that the ceremony was attended by 75% of the southern theater's capacity.
