Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz signed an order Sunday to impose a partial 11-hour curfew for 21 days starting Monday evening, part of the Kingdom’s quest to stop the spread of coronavirus.

The curfew, to start at 7:00 p.m. until 6:00 a.m. every day, reflects King Salman’s keenness on the wellbeing of Saudi citizens and expatriates, the official SPA news agency reported.

The Ministry of Interior will make sure the curfew is implemented, stated the royal order. People working in vital sectors – government and private – will be exempted from the curfew, said SPA, like servicemen, journalists, health and services workers. The order urged the public to stay indoors and only leave their houses if necessary.
