Saudi Arabia to ban unvaccinated from public places, events

Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Interior will ban individuals who have not received the vaccine from entering government buildings, attending activities and events, and using public transportation from Aug. 1.

The ministry said they would ban unvaccinated people from “attending any economic, commercial, cultural, entertainment or sports events, or any governmental or private facilities, including educational institutions, whether they are employed” there or visiting to complete a service.

It added that those who have been vaccinated must present the Tawakkalna app to provide evidence they have received the vaccine, whether citizens or residents, and this includes using public transport.
