Mecca almost empty on the first day of Ramadan

The Great Mosque from Mecca which usually hosts several hundred thousand pilgrims
during ramadan is almost empty. After
the coronavirus epidemic, Saudi Arabia has decided to close its places of worship.

Only a few people were seen near the Kaaba. It is the imam of the mosque and other workers such as security and cleaning staff who were allowed to pray inside the place of worship.

Saudi Arabia reported 15,102 cases of coronavirus. 127 people lost their lives in the country due to Covid-19 contamination.
