This article explores government and community efforts to combat the COVID-19 epidemic in Jordan. The author evaluates Jordan’s response to this crisis through his preliminary survey of the day-to-day affairs of the average members of society, the official statements issued by the government and the initiatives launched by both individuals and community organizations. The article concludes that because social workers did not play a significant role during this crisis, individuals and institutions had to step in to help the society better cope with the social and psychological impact of the spread of the disease and the extraordinary measures implemented by the government to combat it
