The Saudi Health Minister Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al-Rabiah has announced the middle of last month, end-of-Ramadan without recording any case Corona infection among pilgrims and visitors in Mecca and Medina.
This was seen as a statement reassuring message with the approach of the Hajj season, especially that Saudi Arabia during Ramadan, receives the second-largest crowd in terms of numbers after the crowd that witnessed during the pilgrimage.
