These programs are also in place at ablution sites — before and after prayers — and are carried out 10 times a day. SPA Jeddah Women’s offices and the stairs leading to them are also undergoing disinfection, and workers are obliged to follow and maintain personal protection measures by wearing gloves to ensure everyone’s safety.
