Saudi Arabia on Sunday announced the reopening of its borders and the resumption of international flights after a two-week suspension aimed to stem the spread of a new COVID-19 strain.
The government ordered the lifting of “precautionary measures related to the spread of a new variant of coronavirus”, the Ministry of the Interior said, according to the official Saudi Press Agency.
Saudi Arabia has recorded more than 363,000 cases, including over 6,200 deaths, the highest among the Gulf Arab states but has also reported a high recovery rate.
