This year’s Hajj to the holy city of Mecca has seen reduced numbers of pilgrims due to the coronavirus pandemic.

In previous years, not less than 2 million muslim faithfuls converged annually on the Kaaba in the centre of Mecca’s Grand Mosque.

The pruned down numbers this year is said to be the safest ever. In the past, pilgrims have contracted a host of viral illnesses with some falling sick. Logistics were also a perennial challenge.

This year however has seen deliberate measures with strict monitoring to avert any threat to public health. This is in spite of the reduced number of faithfuls.

Only 10,000 or 0.4% of last year’s 2.5 million muslims were admitted. All participants are resident in the Kingdom.

Workers are seen continuously cleaning and disinfecting the holy sit on Wednesday. The workers were all clad in uniforms resembling those of health workers.

Pilgrims were given elaborate amenity kits that included sterilised pebbles for the ritual stoning of the devil, disinfectant, masks and prayer rugs according to the Hajj Ministry.
