Saudi Arabia to relax Covid restrictions beginning October 17, said the interior ministry, in response to a sharp drop in daily infections and significant progress in vaccinations.
According to the ministry, the government plans to lift social distancing measures and allow full-capacity attendance at the country’s two Holy Mosques in Mecca and Medina for those who have received the full dose of vaccines.
Authorities also lifted restrictions on fully vaccinated people entering closed venues, gatherings, transportation, restaurants, etc.
Masks are no longer required in public open spaces, but they are still required in closed venues, the ministry added.
