Saudi Arabia has announced a three-year travel ban for its citizens who visit countries and territories red-listed due to Covid-19, including Vietnam.

The Saudi Press Agency cited an unnamed interior ministry official as saying some citizens, who in May were allowed to travel abroad without prior permission from authorities for the first time since March 2020, had violated travel regulations.
