Only people vaccinated or immunized against Covid-19 will be allowed to perform umrah, the small pilgrimage to Mecca, during the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan which begins in mid-April, Saudi authorities announced Monday (April 5th).

These people fall into three categories: those who have received two doses of the vaccine, those who have received a single dose for 14 days and those who have recovered from treatment against the virus, authorities said.
