Indonesia has cancelled the Haj this year for people in the world’s largest Muslim-majority nation due to concerns over the coronavirus, the religious affairs minister has said.
According to Reuters, Saudi authorities have already said the Haj and Umrah — which attract millions of people from around the world — will remain suspended until further notice.
The quota for Indonesian pilgrims this year was 221,000, with more than 90 per cent already registered to go, according to the religious affairs ministry website.
