Biggest Hajj pilgrimage since the coronavirus pandemic kicks off with hundreds of thousands of mostly maskless worshippers expected to circle Islam's holiest site in Saudi Arabia's Mecca
The kingdom’s Ministry of Hajj and Umrah said Hajj has been opened only for people who have been fully vaccinated against Covid-19 and are under the age of 65.
The pilgrimage consists of a series of religious rites which are completed over five days in Islam's holiest city and its surroundings in western Saudi Arabia. On Tuesday afternoon, white-robed male worshippers and women in colourful abayas walked side by side on the white floors near the Kaaba. Those coming from outside Saudi Arabia were required to submit a negative Covid-19 PCR result from a test taken within 72 hours of travel.
