The Public Health Authority, “Weqaya” in Saudi Arabia, sent a message on its account on “Twitter”, to avoid unnecessary travel outside Saudi Arabia, especially to high-risk countries, given what the world is witnessing today from a significant increase in the number of cases of Covid-19 disease and the emergence of the “Omicron” mutant. And its local spread has accelerated in many countries of the world, which have tightened preventive measures and suspended some social activities.
The “Prevention” also recommended that travelers coming from outside Saudi Arabia, whether citizens or residents, regardless of their immunization status, avoid social contact for a period of five days, and expedite the work of a smear to examine “Covid-19” in the event of respiratory symptoms or a rise in temperature.
And she stressed to those coming from travel to continue to adhere to preventive measures, the most important of which are: wearing a mask all the time, avoiding crowded and public places, constantly cleansing hands, and not shaking hands, stressing to everyone the importance of precautions, immunization with two doses, and speeding up taking the revitalizing dose.
