Expat arrested for turning his house into a barbershop

We all know that Saudi Arabia recently relaxed some coronavirus restrictions in the country allowing several shops and firms to operate following the precautionary measures set by the authorities.

However, according to the rules, the barbershops, saloon, entertainment centers, health clubs, cinemas, sports clubs were not allowed to reopen until the next orders.

At this phase, the most important thing for the public is to follow the rules and regulations. Although they are meant for the safety of the country and its people including us. However, the continued restrictions on the barbershops and saloons have worried them to earn their livelihood.
