Saudi Arabia is planning to ease down its coronavirus lockdown restrictions this week as it seeks to revive an economy additionally hobbled by the collapse in oil prices. The kingdom will begin a three-phase plan on May 28. By the third phase, due to begin by June 21, all restrictions will be lifted to allow a return to normal. Pilgrimages to Mecca and Medina, however, as well as international flights will remain suspended.
