Last year, 2.5 million people made a pilgrimage to Mecca, but this year a maximum of 10,000 people will participate. The Ministry of Health of Saudi Arabia stated that it tested the pilgrims:
All those tested were negative for the coronavirus, during the mass testing of pilgrims and staff in holy places. Saudi authorities kept pilgrims in quarantine for five days in their hotels in Mecca, before the pilgrimage, as part of measures against COVID-19.
Videos and images show historical scenes from the Masjid Al Namirah with strict precautions in the mosque with physical distance.
