“The clothing and footwear sector has been categorised as one of those most severely impacted during the pandemic, and it requires true support,” Asaad Qawasmi, a representative of the clothing, garment and jewellery sector at the Jordan Chamber of Commerce, told The Jordan Times on Monday.

A defence order, he stressed, would preserve the relationship between tenants and landlords.
