JEDDAH: The Saudi Central Bank (SAMA) announced the possibility of adding coronavirus (COVID-19) coverage to insurance policies for non-Saudi tourists visiting the Kingdom.
The bank said, in a statement, that possible coverage would remain for the duration of a visit and that it would communicate with the insurance company that issued the initial travel documents.
SAMA said this step comes in the interest of the health and safety of Saudis and expatriates alike so all can have access to necessary health care.
