Saudi Gazette report

RIYADH — Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Health on Saturday said all returnees from Lebanon, Egypt, Italy or South Korea during the last two weeks should quarantine themselves at home for a couple of weeks from the date of their arrival in the Kingdom.

This precaution is part of the country’s efforts to combat the spread of coronavirus, Saudi Press Agency (SPA) said.

The ministry said any health practitioner returning from those countries during the past two weeks must isolate himself in home for two weeks from the date of his return.

In the event of any symptoms, the ministry urged the citizens to call 937 to obtain the necessary help from health authorities or visit the nearest hospital.
