Quarantine

With the continuing additions of high-risk locations there are residents in quarantine within KAUST.  This does not mean that COVID-19 has reached our community – it is simply a precautionary measure.

Measures are in place to both support these individuals as well as to maintain quarantine conditions. Learn more.
