From August 1, Kingdom’s Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs will prohibit all unvaccinated citizens and residents from entering public enterprises such as malls and restaurants.

According to local media reports, taking two doses of the Saudi approved vaccines or recovery from infection of the virus will be a mandatory prerequisite to enter public places, commercial centres, shopping malls, wholesale and retail stores, public utility markets, restaurants, cafes, men’s barbershops and women’s beauty salons, the ministry said in a statement.

Earlier this month, Saudi Arabia announced that it will ban access to shopping malls and all commercial outlets for unvaccinated people starting from August 1.

People will also need to show proof of vaccine to be allowed entry into restaurants, cafes, men’s barbershops, beauty salons, wedding and party halls.

“In continuation of the ministry’s efforts to protect the public’s health, it is required to vaccinate workers and visitors [who work in or will enter] a number of municipal establishments,” the ministry said on Twitter.

Earlier this week, the interior ministry announced that starting from August 9, all Saudi Arabian citizens will be required to have taken two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine before traveling outside the Kingdom

Saudi Arabia has reported a total of 512,142 cases of COVID-19, out of which 10,799 are currently active.
