04/03/2020 Argaam

Saudi Arabia temporarily suspended on March 4 Umrah for nationals and residents, the Saudi Press Agency reported, citing a Ministry of Interior official.

 

The decision came following a recommendation made by the Coronavirus Follow-up Committee.

 

The Kingdom’s decision is part of the precautionary measures taken by the government to control the outbreak of novel coronavirus (COVID-2019).

 

Late in February, the Saudi government temporarily suspended entry to the Kingdom for Umrah pilgrims and those planning to visit the Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah, Argaam reported.
