Face coverings in KAUST Health
Whilst there have been changes in face-covering requirements in the majority of KAUST, it is still a requirement for ALL people attending KAUST Health to wear a face-covering whilst in the building. This is to ensure we protect people who may be more vulnerable with medical conditions but also to protect the medical teams, thus ensuring a continuation of service availability.
