Only Vaccinated People Will Now Be Allowed To Access Public Spaces
Saudi Arabia announced this week that it will be restricting access to public spaces to only those who have been vaccinated.
This rule will be implemented from August 1, according to the Kingdom’s Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs
Unvaccinated individuals will be barred from entering public establishments, such as malls, restaurants, retail stores, and markets, among others. Anyone visiting these spaces will need to show proof of vaccination.
