It was a long awaited decision which the Saudi citizens and the Saudi expats were waiting to be announced. There are certain nationalities like Indians were completely disallowed from coming back to Saudi Arabia as the COVID 19 patient rates were quite high in India and the Saudi Govt as a proactive measure restricted their entrance in order to minimize the effect of COVID-19 spread effect.
