Saudi Arabia has officially suspended ALL commercial passenger flights to and from the Kingdom for a week (subject to change).<\/p>\n

This latest development is coming amid mounting fears over the new mutated COVID-19 strain, which has been deemed as much more infectious. Global reports regarding the new COVID-19 strain suggest that this will threaten global efforts to curb the spread of COVID-19 in a considerable manner.<\/p>\n

Saudia Arabia has blocked entry through land and seaports, as well as newly introduced international travel restrictions based on the recommendations of the Ministry of Health in light of the emergence of the fast-spreading strain of COVID-19 in the UK and other EU countries.<\/p>\n

EU countries, such as Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy and the Netherlands were among the first to announce the suspension of air travel, rail and ferry links, with Britain<\/h2>\n
