Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia reopened all sea, land and air borders on Sunday, which were closed on December 20, 2020 due to a new variant of the coronavirus.

According to the official Saudi press agency (SPA), the country’s borders, which were temporarily closed as part of measures against the mutated COVID-19 virus, were reopened as of Sunday.

Those who want to come to the United Kingdom from the United Kingdom and the Republic of South Africa and do not possess Saudi citizenship will have to spend at least 14 days in a country where the mutated virus has not yet been seen, the news agency said.

Saudi nationals, who were allowed to enter the country for humanitarian or other mandatory reasons, will be subjected to a 14-day quarantine at their homes and will be asked to take a PCR test on the sixth day of arrival.

The COVID-19 pandemic has claimed nearly 1.83 million lives in 191 countries and regions since December 2019.

More than 84.6 million cases have been reported worldwide, including more than 47.42 million recoveries, according to figures compiled by Johns Hopkins University in the United States.

The United States, India, and Brazil remain the most affected countries in terms of infections.
