The Jeddah Waterfront Had To Be Shut Down After Massive Overcrowding

Avatar

An urgent directive has been issued by the governor of Jeddah this weekend to shut down the waterfront for the coming days.

After dining-in in restaurants and the other main things people do on weekend were shut down to curb the increasing number of COVID-19 cases, way too many people in Jeddah decided to head to the waterfront.

The result was massive overcrowding at Jeddah’s corniche

Announcement of the closure of the waterfront and its immediate evacuation had to be made via loudspeakers

People took to Twitter to express their disappointment in the behavior of many people

Social distancing was not being practiced
