Riyadh: Coronavirus cases in Saudi Arabia passed 100,000 on Sunday, as the kingdom’s health ministry announced 3,045 new cases on the day, bringing its confirmed total to 101,914. The kingdom of nearly 34 million has seen daily cases climb, with Sunday’s count exceeding 3,000 daily cases for the first time.
Saudi Arabia enacted a strict 24-hour curfew during the Muslim holiday of Eid that marked the end of the holy month of Ramadan in the last days of May, and on Friday announced it was reimposing lockdown orders on the seaside city of Jeddah, the country’s second-most populous after Riyadh.
