Saudi Arabia called on all those who come under these regulations to abide by the directives and orders issued by the competent authorities concerning violations of the ban hours.
Acting Minister of Municipal and Rural Affairs Majed Al-Hoqail has approved a raft of temporary health rules and regulations for home delivery services of food and essential goods.
These regulations will apply to restaurants, fast food outlets, supermarkets, and grocery stores as well as to representatives of electronic applications, which are registered with the Communications and Information Technology Commission for the delivery service, the SPA reported.
Under the regulations, it is not permissible to carry out any transactions in cash. All payments must be made using electronic methods. No delivery orders will be entertained if the time to drive to the destination takes more than 45 minutes.
According to the regulations, the delivery representative or consumer shall inform the security authorities in the event of a suspicion of the dispatched goods, and not allow the transport and delivery of prohibited and dangerous materials as well as delivery of the order if the time for transportation from the commercial establishment to the consumer is taking more than 45 minutes.
