Saudi Arabia has advanced its curfew to 3pm in three areas, starting from Friday until further notice, state news agency SPA said, citing a senior official of the interior ministry.
The measure in the city of Dammam, and the governorates of Taif and Al Qatif, aims to rein in the virus, Reuters reported.
The kingdom has recorded 1,885 infections and 21 deaths, the most among any of the six members of the Gulf Cooperation Council.
