Saudi Arabia has postponed the reopening of its land, sea and air ports for travel till May 17, the kingdom’s Ministry of Interior said on Friday.
The ministry had previously said on January 8 that it would end a ban on travel for its citizens and would reopen its ports from March 31, Arab News reported.
Interior ministry spokesperson said the decision was taken “given the importance of reaching high levels of community immunity in the Kingdom before travel is permitted, in light of a possible second wave of the pandemic in many countries, in the interest of public health in the Kingdom and to maintain low infection rates.”
He said travel suspension for citizens would be lifted and land, sea and air ports completely opened from 1am on May 17.
Meanwhile, the Saudi health minister has said that deliveries of Covid-19 vaccines are being delayed.
