King Fahd Causeway to Reopen from Thursday

Saudi Arabia said that its citizens in Bahrain can return to the Kingdom via the King Fahd Causeway without a prearranged permit, as of Thursday.

A statement issued by the Saudi Embassy in Bahrain also said that Saudis arriving at Bahrain airport were subject to a 10-day quarantine.

The 25km-long causeway linking Saudi Arabia to Bahrain was shut down on March 7 as part of a slew of measures to fight the spread of coronavirus.

The reopening of the causeway comes as the Kingdom is easing virus-related measures to prop up the economy.
