Saudis can return home from Kuwait without permission

The Saudi embassy in Kuwait announced the opening of land ports for the return of Saudi citizens and their family members (husband, wife, children, and parents) to the homeland. Starting on July 23, they can return home without prior permission with their household workers.

Meanwhile, the Saudi embassy in Manama said Saudi citizens in Bahrain wishing to return back home via King Fahd Causeway can do so without prior permission from Thursday.

Saudi citizens travelling to Bahrain through Bahrain International Airport (transit) will be subject to health checks in Bahrain, including quarantine for 10 days.

Saudi Ministry of Health has issued a set of guidelines and health procedures for those showing symptoms of acute respiratory infection arriving in Saudi Arabia.

Those subject to new surveillance include patients with acute respiratory infection, including a fever or recent history of fever, cough, or sore throat, and within the 14 days prior to the onset of symptoms have a history of travel to areas with presumed ongoing community transmission.
