The State News Agency SPA announced that Saudi Arabia will permit pilgrims in the country to undergo the Umrah pilgrimage starting on 4th October after a halt due to the novel global pandemic.
Attracting about 19 million people last year from the pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina, Saudi Arabia issued a pause on Umrah in March.
The SPA added that 6000 citizens and residents will be allowed to undergo the Umrah everyday occupying just 30% of the 20,000 following the COVID-19 protocols. On October 18, the number will increase to 75%.
For people outside the country, SPA concluded that it will allow visitors from particular countries confirmed safe to undergo Umrah at 100% of the revised capacity until the pandemic is eradicated.
