Riyadh, May 1: Dr Mohammed Al-Abd Al-Aly, the Saudi ministry of health (MoH) spokesman has denied that authorities will request curfews during Ramadan or Eid.
“Rumors spread from time to time, and this is one of the circulating things nowadays, and they are not true,” he said. “The concerned and specialized committees are continuing to follow the situation closely, but no request has been sent to enforce curfews neither in Ramadan nor Eid,” he added.
Al-Aly stressed the importance of adhering to the precautionary measures, saying, “If society abides by these measures — wearing masks and keeping a safe distance, avoiding large gatherings and adhering to the numbers allowed, especially during Eid — we won’t need further restrictions or curfews.” He further urged citizens to receive their vaccines. So far, 9,123,778 people have been inoculated in the Kingdom.
