Coronavirus Ravages Middle East as Iran Warns of ‘Millions’ of Deaths


(Worthy News) – From Jerusalem’s Western Wall to Saudi Arabia’s Mecca, the coronavirus is changing the Middle East and people in the region are adjusting to a new normal.

In Mecca, the black stone sits alone. Saudi Arabia decided to block access to Islam’s holiest site as part of its fight to stop the spread of the coronavirus. Egypt has reported hundreds of cases that have severely hit its tourism industry. Jordan’s King Abdallah II bin Al- Hussein presided over a COVID-19 meeting and implemented a compulsory quarantine for all those entering the country.
