Six hospitals, 51 medical clinics, 200 ambulances and 62 field teams have been allocated for Haj pilgrims in holy sites to ensure a safe pilgrimage this year amid the coronavirus pandemic, the Ministry of Health said on Wednesday.

“One health leader has also been assigned for every 50 pilgrims during this year’s exceptional Haj season. The qualified health expert will monitor pilgrims’ adherence to preventive measures and health protocols set by competent authorities to ensure their safety and comfort of pilgrims,” Dr. Mohammad Al Abdul Ali, spokesperson for the Health Ministry said during a joint press conference by the ministries of Health and Interior.

“62 field teams consisted of 8,000 people are on the ground to protect pilgrims and ensure a smooth and safety Haj season,” he said.

Pilgrims are abiding by social distancing and wearing face masks while performing Haj rituals, the spokesperson said, adding no coronavirus infection cases have been reported among pilgrims.

The holy sites have been cordoned off with security checkpoints installed around the holy city of Mecca to prevent violators from entering holy sites, Maj. Gen. Mansour Al Turki, the Interior Ministry spokesperson said during the conference.

“We rolled our extraordinary security plans for the safety of pilgrims,” he emphasised.
