Saudi Arabia lifts Covid-19 restrictions, no social distancing and quarantine for vaccinated travellers visiting Mecca, Medina

Saudi Arabia is the latest country to lift Covid-19 restrictions, including quarantine for vaccinated arrivals and social distancing in public spaces. A ministry source said to the Saudi Press Agency about the decision of suspending social distancing in public spots, including mosques to facilitate the arrival of Muslim pilgrims in the country.

Saudi Arabia, which is home to Islam’s two holiest sites, Mecca and Medina, will no longer need vaccinated visitors to show a negative PCR or rapid test before their arrival in the kingdom or to quarantine. According to the decision, masks will only be allowed in closed places.

The Covid-19 outbreak has wreaked havoc on Muslim pilgrimages, which are generally a major source of revenue for the country, bringing in USD 12 billion per year.

For Saudi leaders, hosting the pilgrimages is a matter of prestige, as the custodianship of Islam’s holiest shrines is their most important source of political legitimacy.

The hajj was drastically reduced for a second year in 2021 due to a coronavirus outbreak, with only 60,000 fully vaccinated nationals and residents of Saudi Arabia taking part.

The Covid-19 cases in Saudi Arabia have dropped by 47.30 percent in just one week. The country reported 283 new cases on Saturday, taking the total number of infections to 7,47,119, since the start of the pandemic.

In other news, Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba on Saturday urged the governments of several countries including India, China and Nigeria to appeal to Russian President Vladimir Putin to stop the ongoing war in Ukraine and demanded a fresh round of sanctions on Russia.

63-year-old drunk Swedish national molests IndiGo air hostess on Bangkok-Mumbai flight, arrested

In another mid-air incident, a 63-year-old man from Swedish allegedly molested an air hostess of an IndiGo flight in an inebriated condition. Flight 6E-1052 was en route to Mumbai from Bangkok. The Mumbai Police have arrested the accused.

The accused, identified as Klas Erik Harald Jonas Westberg, misbehaved with the air hostess while she was serving meals. According to the reports, the man continued to misbehave with the air hostess till the time the flight landed at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport.

According to the reports, Westberg behaved unruly with the 24-year-old air hostess when she informed him that there was no seafood onboard. She then served him chicken meals and asked for his ATM card to make a payment through the POS machine.

On the pretext of swiping the card, the passenger held her hand. She said she pulled it back and asked him to enter the card PIN. When the air hostess protested, Westberg stood up from the seat and molested the Indigo staff in front of other passengers, reports state.

The air hostess then alerted the flight captain and warned the passenger of seat No. 28-E of the possible consequences of his behaviour, but to no avail. And when the flight landed, the IndiGo security staff and CISF were informed and later handed the accused to the Sahar Airport Police Station.

The air hostess then filed a police complaint against the passenger on arrival at the Mumbai airport. He was produced before the Andheri Metropolitan Magistrate Court and was released on bail of Rs 20,000.

The accused’s lawyer argued that Westberg suffers from health issues and his body shivers. He cannot hold anything without help. He tried to hold the POS payment card machine when he touched the cabin crew. He did not touch her intentionally, he stated.

Sahar Airport Police Station is investigating the matter.
