In address to the nation and Muslims on the advent of the Eid al-Fitr holiday, he said the Kingdom has, in line with its religious, humanitarian and national values, exerted all efforts to combat the pandemic.
It has sought to ease its impact and offered generous support to the World Health Organization as it confronts the crisis, he added.
Saudi Arabia has also contributed to local and international efforts to find a vaccine for the virus or a drug that would help rid mankind of this unprecedented outbreak, stated King Salman.
He expressed his great appreciation for Saudis and residents for spending the holiday at home, responsibly adhering to social distancing and preventive measures.
