The authorities in Saudi Arabia have decided to re-tighten the health precautions in the city of Jeddah for a period of 15 days, beginning on Saturday (June 6) until June 20, Saudi Press Agency reported on Friday, citing an official source at the Ministry of Interior.

  • Suspension of prayers in mosques.
  • Suspension of workplace attendance in ministries, government agencies and private sector companies.
  • Suspension of dining in restaurants and cafes.
  • Prevention of any gatherings of more than five people.

However, all domestic travel by air and land will be allowed, and entry into and out of the city will not be restricted outside the curfew hours.

The exempt categories according to previous decisions will continue to carry out their work and take into consideration that this ought to be in the narrowest scope, in line with the measures and controls laid down by the competent authorities.

The source stressed continuing monitoring the number of critical cases in Riyadh city, which have been witnessing a continuous rise recently. This is in preparation for taking the appropriate measures if this rise continues.
