Saudi: Ban on Shisha, Restaurant Play Areas to Continue
The Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs (MMRA) in Saudi Arabia has announced the continuation of the ban on providing Shisha (hubble-bubble), and the closure of children’s play areas in restaurants as a precautionary measure for protecting the health of citizens and residents from the novel coronavirus COVID-19 infection.
The new stage, in which the Kingdom is beginning to coexist with the virus, focuses on the concept of “social distancing” that has emerged since the start of the coronavirus crisis throughout the world.
It stipulates leaving at least 2 meters between one person and the other in public places to prevent the transmission of infection, in addition to covering the mouth and nose by wearing a facemask.
It also specifies complying with the preventive protocols in workplaces, stores, shops, mosques and tourist attractions, with human gatherings not to exceed 50 people, as a maximum.
