Saudi Arabia has issued more than 650,000 electronic Umrah permits so far as the third phase of Umrah is approaching.

According to the details, the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has so far issued more than 650,000 electronic Umrah permits.

In the third phase, 20,000 pilgrims a day can perform their Umrah amid strict social distancing measures aiming at stopping the spread of coronavirus cases, which have seen a sharp rise in recoveries.

The Undersecretary at the Ministry for Hajj and Umrah, Dr. Amr Al-Maddah, said the application had seen more than 2.5 million installations and 1.2 million registrations.

Al-Maddah said that the number of times a pilgrim could apply for a new permit to perform Umrah depended mainly on the availability of numbers allowed to enter the Grand Mosque.

“As per the gradual Umrah resumption plan, the main objective of the application is to organize the number of pilgrims available at the Grand Mosque. So, a pilgrim cannot register or book for another Umrah until he is done with the previous one, and that is because of high demand on Umrah permits these days,” he said.

On October 4, Saudi Arabia set into motion a phased plan resuming the Umrah after suspension of about seven months prompted by the spread of the new coronavirus.
