Saudi authorities said Monday only immune persons against COVID-19 will be allowed to perform the pilgrimage year-round from early Ramadan, the holy month of fasting for Muslims.
The ministry of pilgrimage and umre said in a statement that three categories of people would be considered immune “” Those who took two doses of the vaccine, those who administered a single dose at least 14 days ago, and people who were cured by the virus.
Only those people will have permission to perform umra as well as to participate in prayers at the Great Mosque in the holy city of Mecca.
This would effectively enable the operational capacity of the Great Mosque “during Ramadan, and the condition is also valid for entry into the Prophet's Mosque into the holy city of Medina.
The ministry said it starts with Ramadan, which is expected to begin even a few days, but was unclear how long it would last.
Saudi Arabia has reported more than 393,000 coronary infections and 6,700 deaths from COVID-19.
