Riyadh: In a latest development Saudi Arabia has temporary barred people arriving from at least 20 countries including UAE, US, India and Pakistan. However diplomats, Saudi citizens, medical practitioners and their families are exempted from this ban.
Saudi Health officials stated that the new restrictions are aimed to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
The temporary ban, effective from February 3, includes people arriving from the United Arab Emirates, Germany, the United States, Britain, South Africa, France, Egypt, Lebanon, India and Pakistan.
Saudi Arabia's health minister said that ease in coronavirus restrictions had led to a notable increase in daily cases in the kingdom.
The kingdom has recorded more than 367,800 cases and 6,370 deaths so far, the highest tally in the region. It saw daily infections fall from a peak above 4,000 in June to dip below the 100 mark in early January.
