This will be an ongoing thread regarding life here in #SaudiArabia, during the #CoronaVirus ( #CoVid19) #outbreak.

The #Saudi Government was initially quite strongly criticized for it's preventative measures, yet now many criticizing nations have declared states of #emergency.

While basic things like #facemasks have been hoarded elsewhere & sold for up to ten times their market price, here in #Saudi national factories are producing #FaceMaskForSale in the domestic market.

Thank you @MCgovSA

#CoVid19 #CoronaVirus #كورونا

Here's another #CoVid19 essential.
While hoarders and heartless advantage-takers have emptied store shelves of #HandSanitizer, elsewhere…
#Saudi @MCgovSA makes sure factories produce enough to cover domestic demand.

The Committee of Major Scholars has issued an edict:
The Athan is to be raised for each prayer with the addition "Pray in your homes" as is narrated by Ibn Abbas to have occured by the order of our Prophet ﷺ when required.

All other Masjids in #SaudiArabia shall only raise the call for prayer, and the faithful shall pray in their homes.

I went shopping the other day. As I got my cart, a worker disinfected the handle & pointed me toward gloves that I could use while shopping.
Shelves were full of products & all was calm.

Allah protect us all.

Elsewhere in the world, panicked shoppers have cleared grocery stores of perishable products which won't last more than a week. The weak, elderly & dependent are now in need of charity.

Allah bless @KingSalman & protect #SaudiArabia

All around the world, we see #pricegougers taking advantage of people. There are narrations of #dates sustaining the Prophet's household ﷺ for months.

Another major issue during the #CoronaVirusOutbreak has been repatriation. #SaudiArabia houses its citizens in hotels until they can be evacuated from countries with #CoVid19 outbreaks.
Yet, the situation with civilized Western countries varies slightly, as usual.

Ahmad is a #Saudi student, hosted in #Norwich, #UK. His host family kicked him out, fearing #CoVid19. So he called @SaudiEmbassyUK & they covered his travel to #London & hotel (w/meals), until he's able to leave (as flights are grounded).

#SaudiArabia

The people of Madinah are adhering to requests that they #StayAtHome

Some endearing sentiments expressed by this Belgian doctor regarding @KingSalman's initiative to treat illegal overstayers for free while #Belgium charges everybody for #covid19 treatment and jails illegals

May Allah protect #SaudiArabia from other harm
