After the World Health Organization’s warnings about the relationship of hookah use to the increase in infections with the new Corona virus in a number of countries, the Saudi Ministry of Health and the National Tobacco Control Committee announced the continuation of the complete ban on the use of hookah and all tobacco and nicotine products in all public places in the Kingdom.
The ministry indicated that allowing the use of hookah may put many lives at risk of contracting the Coronavirus, which increases the rates of infection with the virus in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, according to the newspaper “Okaz”.
Since March 2020, the Saudi Health Ministry has prohibited the provision of hookah and molasses in public places such as cafes and hotels, as part of the Kingdom’s precautionary measures to prevent Covid-19.
