Spokesperson for the Ministry of Homeland Security of Saudi Arabia Colonel Talal bin Shalhoub said the royal security agency continues to ensure the safety and security of pilgrims while living in Mina and worshiping at the Grand Mosque.
"The transportation of the pilgrims to the holy places has been carried out after they went to Mina to throw their body and to the Grand Mosque to perform Tawaf Al Ifadah," said Talal in Makkah as quoted by Antara, Thursday.
He asked the congregation to comply with the mass movement regulations, follow the specified route, and remain calm during worship during Tasyrik Day on the Jamarat Mina website and at the Grand Mosque.
He also emphasized that serving the congregation and the two Holy Mosques is a top priority for Saudi leadership.
Meanwhile, Saudi Ministry of Health Spokesperson Dr. Mohammed Al-Abd Alali noted that the pilgrimage had been carried out smoothly and calmly thanks to integrated health services in Arafah and Muzdalifah.
He also said that medical services had been provided to more than 225.000 pilgrims during this year's hajj, including hospital bed use for more than 4.000 hospitalized patients.
Alali said that virtual hospitals have provided more than 3,500 services using the latest technology.
He added that the medical team had handled 6,700 health problems due to hot weather, including 2,200 today and 261 cases including a sun shock.
He appealed to worshipers to be careful, avoid exposure to the sun, get enough rest, comply with health authorities' instructions, and apply high standards of cleanliness, including covering the mouth and nose.
He also asked the congregation to contact number 937 if they wanted to talk about any health care.
