JEDDAH: People who intentionally transmit COVID-19 and place the public’s health at risk in Saudi Arabia will be “severely punished” and face fines and jail time, the Kingdom’s Public Prosecution has warned. The government agency released a statement on Friday that said individuals who commit the crime will face up to five years’ imprisonment and a fine of up to SR500,000 ($266,000), while expats will be deported and prohibited from ever returning to the Kingdom. The statement added that if the violation is repeated, the punishment will be doubled.
