The National Center for Security and Crisis Management on Wednesday issued a list
of proposed measures to stimulate public and private sector workers to register
for the
COVID-19 vaccine.

Should they
go into effect, the new measures would ban those who have not received the
vaccine from entering public facilities, shopping malls and most service sector
institutions, whereas those who have been immunized would have access to all
public facilities, parks movie theatres and sports matches.
The measures
would also require both public and private sector employees to test for
coronavirus every Saturday, at their own expense, as of June 1.
Private sector
institutions that have not vaccinated their employees, with “at least” the
first COVID jab, would have to close their doors, starting August 1, while
those that have vaccinated less than 80 percent of their employees would be
restricted to operating with 50 percent of their staff, as of June 1.
Under the
suggested measures, visitors to the Kingdom who present proof of having
received both COVID-19 shots would be exempted from a mandatory PCR test,
starting May 15, with exception of arrivals from countries struck by mutated
strains of the virus.
