Saudi Arabia decided to lift COVID-19 precautionary and preventive measures, said an official source at the Ministry of Interior today, June 13.

 

The decision came after competent authorities’ follow-up of the Kingdom’s epidemiological situation, along with the unlimited support from the wise leadership and concerted effective national efforts, the official added.

 

Individuals are no longer required to wear a face mask indoors, with the exception of the Grand Mosque in Mecca and the Prophet's Mosque in Madinah. This is in addition to health facilities, public events, airplanes and public transportation means that stipulate to uphold the preventative measures.

 

In addition, proof of vaccination via Tawakkalna app is no longer needed to enter establishments, events, activities, airplanes and public transportation.

 

Citizens who aim to leave the Kingdom should take a third booster shot after eight months of the second-dose receipt instead of three. However, this does not apply to people under specific age groups or those who have been exempt from vaccination by the Ministry of Health.
