DUBAI - Saudi Arabia halted entry and exit into Jeddah governorate on Sunday , expanding lockdown rules as it reported four new deaths from a coronavirus outbreak that continues to spread in the region despite drastic measures to contain it.

Saudi authorities imposed entry and exit bans on Jeddah, after doing so for the cities of Riyadh, Mecca and Medina last week. UAE Attorney-General Hamad Saif Al Shamsi announced coronavirus-related fines, including 50,000 dirhams for non-compliance with home quarantine orders and 3,000 dirhams for violating the curfew.
