Saudi Arabia: New COVID-19 vaccination rules come into effect today
Saudi Arabia’s new COVID-19 vaccination rules requiring individuals to be fully vaccinated in order to enter certain public places come into effect today, October 10.
Under the new regulations, anyone wishing to enter government buildings, schools, events, or use public transportation and air travel must have received both doses, SPA reported.
Anyone wishing to perform the Umrah pilgrimage must also have received two vaccine doses starting October 10.
Unvaccinated people have been banned from entering government facilities, using public transport, and attending events in the Kingdom since August 1.
Citizens and residents of Saudi Arabia can register their vaccine status using the contact-tracing Tawakkalna app, which can then be used to access public places.
