Saudi Arabia announced on Saturday at a press conference to limit the upcoming Hajj season to domestic pilgrims only of a maximum of 60,000 individuals.

The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah decided to limit registration to those wishing to perform the Hajj rituals this year to citizens and residents inside the country only due to the global COVID-19 outbreaks and the new virus mutations.
