Saudi: Immunization checks lifted at holy mosques
Saudi Arabia scrapped the immunization status check for people entering the Grand Mosque in Makkah and the Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah from Thursday.
The requirement of registering immunization data to obtain an Umrah permit for pilgrims from outside the Kingdom were also cancelled.
Permits are no longer required to pray at the Grand Mosque or visit the Prophet’s Mosque but it is still mandatory to obtain permits for performing Umrah and visit AlRawdah AlSharifa in the Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah.
