Saudi Ministry of Interior warned that penalties will be slapped on private sector entities, which fail to comply with the precautionary measures related to COVID-19.
These violations include failure of establishments to check entrants’ body temperature, and allowing entry of unvaccinated or virus-infected people.
Other violations include lack of sanitizers, non-adherence to mask-wearing and social distancing norms, and failure to clean equipment, shopping carts and surfaces.
Failure to comply with these measures will lead to penalties starting from SAR 10,000 for microenterprises and up to SAR 100,000 for large ones.
