Riyadh has temporarily suspended Umrah to the two holy cities of Mecca and Medina for Saudi citizens due to coronavirus concerns, an official source in the Saudi interior ministry said.

The decision will be assessed regularly and reversed when the situation changes, SPA reported.

The report comes since Saudi Arabia toughened entry rules for Persian Gulf residents, as well as residents of China, Italy, and South Korea.

According to the ministry, it banned travellers with tourist visas issued by countries "in which the spread of the new Coronavirus (COVID-19) is a danger, according to the criteria determined by the competent health authorities in the Kingdom".
