The announcement by the king- dom comes after it ran an incredibly pared-down pilgrimage last year over the virus, but still allowed a small number of the faithful to take part in the annual ceremony. A statement on the state-run Saudi Press Agency quoted the kingdom’s Hajj and Umrah Ministry making the announcement. It said this year’s Hajj, which will begin in mid-July, will be limited to those ages 18 to 65. Those taking part must be vacci- nated as well, the ministry said. “The kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which is honored to host pilgrims every year, confirms that this ar- rangement comes out of its constant concern for the health, safety and security of pilgrims as well as the safety of their countries,” the state- ment said. In last year’s Hajj, as few as 1,000 people already residing in Saudi Ara- bia were selected to take part. Two- thirds were foreign residents from among the 160 different nationalities that would have normally been rep- resented at the Hajj.
