According to “SPA”, the General Presidency for the Affairs of the Grand Mosque and the Prophet’s Mosque, with the concerned authorities, facilitated the process of regulating the entry of pilgrims to the Great Mosque of Mecca through specific doors, and in accordance with precautionary measures and the application of physical distancing, while performing Umrah through virtual paths and specific locations in which they perform prayers.
The Assistant General President-designate, Under-Secretary-General for the Affairs of the Grand Mosque and the affairs of imams and muezzins, Saad bin Muhammad al-Muhaimid, explained that early preparation was made by preparing the corridors of the Grand Mosque, the courtyard and courtyards, and its readiness before the influx of pilgrims.
Al-Muhaimid affirmed the readiness of all field leaders in the Grand Mosque, where the performance of the operational plans will be monitored and evaluated by the leaders to achieve the goals and provide a safe and sound environment, pointing to the readiness of human and mechanical capabilities in a healthy and safe environment that meets international health standards.
