Saudi aviation authority has issued a new set of guidelines for pilgrims coming to perform Hajj from all over the world.

According to these standards, a pilgrim should not be older than 65 years old, should have gotten the coronavirus vaccine doses permitted by his or her country’s government, and should have tested negative for the virus 72 hours before leaving for Saudi Arabia.

The Saudi aviation authority has instructed all international carriers to ensure that passengers follow these standards otherwise legal actions would be taken against them.
