RIYADH – Saudi Arabia yesterday reopened all sea, land, and air borders, which were closed on December 20 last year due to a new variant of the coronavirus, reported Anadolu Agency quoting the official Saudi Press Agency (SPA).
The SPA said the country’s borders, which were temporarily closed as part of measures against the mutated Covid-19 virus, were reopened as of yesterday.
Those who want to come to the kingdom from the UK and South Africa and don’t possess Saudi citizenship will be required to spend at least 14 days in a country where the mutated virus has yet to be recorded, the news agency said.
Saudi citizens, who were allowed to enter the country for humanitarian or other obligatory reasons, will be subjected to a 14-day quarantine at their homes and asked to take a PCR test on the sixth day of their arrival. – Bernama, January 4, 2021
