RIYADH — Saudi Arabia's civil aviation authority issued on Monday updated its travel advisory outlining more coronavirus precautionary measures.
The travel advisory issued by the General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) coincided with the resumption of international travel.

The new advisory includes several new procedures which are the following:

— Travelers are requested to reach airports well in advance of their flights and to ensure that they are in good health before entering airport lounges.
—Travelers whose body temperature exceeds 38 degrees Celsius will be prevented from entering airports
— The use of electronic payment methods is encouraged in order to reduce the use of banknotes
— Commitment to board planes according to seats allocated by airlines, and to apply physical distancing among fellow passengers
