Saudi authorities said Monday only people vaccinated against Covid-19 will be allowed to perform the year-round umrah pilgrimage, starting from the holy month of Ramadan.
The hajj and umrah ministry said in a statement that only “immunised people” will be granted permits to perform umrah as well as prayers in the Grand Mosque in the holy city of Mecca.
