Saudi Arabia says YES to Hajj 2020, NO to International Travellers

Putting an end to the months-long mystery of whether the annual pilgrimage of hajj will be conducted this year, Saudi Arabia on Monday issued an official statement clearing any doubts. While the countries around the world, including India, were waiting for Saudi Arabia's final word, it has been decided that the holy ritual will be performed with limited number of Saudi citizens and residents, barring any worshippers from abroad.

There's no word on when Saudi will allow pilgrims for Umrah yet.
