The two Syrians who were transferred to isolation tested positive in random tests conducted through the Jordanian fitness government in Azraq camp, said Rula Amin, UNHCR spokesperson for the Middle East and North Africa.
There have been several other infections of Syrian refugees living outdoors in the camps, among around 2,500 cases in Jordan since the first report on March 2, Amin said.
