Saudi Arabia bans travels to Indonesia over COVID-19 concerns

Saudi Arabia on Wednesday banned all travels to Indonesia directly or indirectly. The ban comes as the southeast Asian country reported a record high of 1,383 deaths from COVID-19.

The Kingdom’s interior ministry said that the ban would last until the COVID-19 situation in Indonesia became stable.

It called on citizens who are already in Indonesia to exercise caution, stay away from areas where the virus was spreading, follow all precautionary measures, and return to the Kingdom as soon as possible.
