As the post-Hajj influx of worshippers continues, Saudi Arabia has issued a renewed call for pilgrims visiting the Grand Mosque in Mecca to strictly adhere to health and safety protocols. Authorities are emphasizing preventive measures to protect public health during this busy period, when millions return for prayers and extended religious observances.
In and around the mosque, the Ministry of Health has established 24-hour medical services, including emergency response teams and mobile clinics. Pilgrims are advised to keep their personal hygiene up, use masks in busy locations, and get medical help right away if they start to feel sick. Vulnerable populations, such as the elderly and people with long-term illnesses, are receiving extra attention.
The General Presidency for the Affairs of the Two Holy Mosques has sent out more security, sanitary, and guiding staff to guarantee easy mobility and reduce crowding. Smart signage and multilingual announcements are also in place to help direct worshippers and prevent bottlenecks during peak prayer hours.
Visitors’ involvement is essential to preserving a secure and spiritually rewarding environment, officials emphasise. These actions are a part of Saudi Arabia’s continuous endeavours to update pilgrimage facilities while giving each pilgrim’s health and welfare top priority.
