Saudi Arabia limited on Saturday land crossings with the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, and Bahrain to commercial trucks only, with arrivals from the three countries temporarily limited to three airports as a precaution taken over the spread of the coronavirus, Saudi news agency SPA reported.

The three airports are King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah, and King Fahd International Airport in Dammam, SPA added.
People planning to enter Saudi Arabia from any country confronting a high COVID-19 risk have to submit a mandatory certificate as evidence that they have not contracted the virus – including people who lived in hardest-hit countries during the last 14 days before entering Saudi.
Under the new measure, airline companies have to make sure that passengers have “safe, recent medical certificates which are issued within the last 24 hours before the passenger boarded the plane”
