Jeddah, MINA – Saudi Arabia has barred its citizens and residents from traveling to China amid the coronavirus outbreak.

The Kingdom’s General Directorate of Passports warned on its official website that anyone who violates the order will not be allowed to return to Saudi Arabia.

Accordingto Arab News, it said regulatory provisions on travel documents would be applied to citizens who violate the travel ban.

The Kingdom’s national carrier Saudia has already joined other major airlines in suspending flights to China.

Saudi authorities brought students back home from the virus-hit Chinese city of Wuhan earlier this week. All of them were free from any infection.
