RIYADH – – Saudi Arabia’s interior ministry said on Tuesday it will later announce a date of lifting restrictions on citizens traveling to and from the Kingdom.

The Kingdom partially lifted a suspension of international flight on Sept.15, six months after travel restrictions were imposed because of the novel coronavirus pandemic.

Saudi authorities had originally said it would end all restriction on air, land and sea transport ‘after Jan.1.’ next year, to be announced on a specific date in December.
