Saudi Modifies Regulations; Allows Social Gatherings of 50 People

Saudi Arabia modified the coronavirus regulations regarding limiting gatherings and family visits to contain the spread of COVID-19, the Ministry of Interior said on Saturday, according to state news agency SPA.

The maximum number of people allowed to gather during family visits, non-family gatherings inside homes, gatherings in farms, and social events such as funerals and parties, is now raised to 50 individuals.

Previously, gatherings of more than five people, regardless of the occasion, were banned.

The Kingdom also introduced new fines.
