Gulf Arab states launch new restrictions over virus fears

Gulf Arab states on Thursday launched new restrictions over fears of the coronavirus resurging across their countries.

In Saudi Arabia, where authorities already have banned travel to the kingdom from 20 countries, including the US, officials also ordered all weddings and parties suspended.

It closed down all shopping malls, gyms and other locations for 10 days, as well as indoor dining.

Authorities warned the new measures could be extended.

The kingdom also ordered cemeteries to ensure it conducted graveside funerals with a distance of 100 metres between them.

Saudi Arabia saw a peak in coronavirus cases in June. The kingdom brought those daily reported case numbers down under 100 in early January, but reported over 300 cases on Wednesday alone, according to government statistics.

Overall, the kingdom has reported over 368,000 cases of COVID-19, with 6,380 deaths.

In Kuwait, authorities have ordered a twoweek ban on foreigners arriving to the country beginning Sunday.

Separately, officials have ordered most businesses closed from 8:00pm to 5:00am beginning Sunday for the next month.
