MAKKAH: After spending the Eid holiday with families in their hometowns, Saudis working in the private and public sectors returned to the cities and resumed their duties on Tuesday.
Every year, major Saudi cities wear a deserted look during Eid Al-Fitr due to the mass exodus of people who travel to every nook and corner of the Kingdom to spend their holiday with their loved ones.
Like elsewhere around the world, for the second year in a row Saudis had to celebrate Eid Al-Fitr amid strict health measures imposed due to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic.
The first working day after the holiday season is usually tough, but Saudis who returned to their workplaces also reminisced about the good old days of celebrating Eid without any restrictions.

Mortsel (Belgium), May 11, 2021 - Agfa-Gevaert today commented on its results in the first quarter of 2021. In the seasonally weaker first quarter, the growth engines in the HealthCare IT and Digital Print & Chemicals divisions reported solid margin performances, which were offset by volume declines for some of our traditional products, as well as inflationary pressure. The Radiology Solutions division faced volume and price pressure for its medical film products due to the introduction of new centralized procurement practices in China. For the rest of the year, we expect the division s volumes and margins to recover substantially versus the exceptionally weak first quarter.
