The development comes as Saudi Arabia on Thursday allowed direct entry from six countries including Pakistan, Indonesia, India, Egypt, Vietnam and Brazil without spending 14-day quarantine in a third country.

“The announcement of allowing the direct entry from the above-mentioned countries was issued based on the continuous follow-up of the epidemiological situation locally and globally and the reports submitted by the Saudi competent health authorities about the developments of the coronavirus pandemic and the extent of the stability of the epidemiological situation in a number of countries,” quoted SPA.
