The Executive Committee underlined that the well-being of citizens and residents remains at the heart of all preventive measures introduced to mitigate the spread of the virus.
HRH the Crown Prince highlighted that ongoing compliance with health orders during the holy month of Ramadan demonstrates the strong sense of solidarity and collective Covid-19 awareness among the kingdom’s citizens and residents, adding that both concepts underpin the success of all virus mitigation efforts and must continue in order to safeguard the health of all.
