RIYADH: More than 200 Saudi citizens on Sunday arrived in Riyadh from London on special flights arranged by the Kingdom to ensure the safe return of all its citizens stranded abroad in the wake of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak.
Passengers have to undergo 12 preventive checkups in three stages — before boarding the plane, inside the cabin and then finally upon arrival.
The Ministry of Health has allocated a checkpoint through which passengers pass thermal cameras upon arrival. Suspicious cases are transferred safely to a designated area further away.
