Saudi Arabia suspended all domestic flights, buses, taxis, and trains for 14 days starting Saturday, the state news agency reported quoting a source in the interior ministry.
The source said the move comes as a precautionary measure to limit the spread of coronavirus which has spread panic in global markets and put several countries on virtual lockdowns. Saudi Arabia has so far confirmed 274 infections and no deaths, while globally the pandemic has killed over 10,000 and infected over 240,000.
