Saudi curfew does not impact operations of cement factories: official

Saudi Arabia’s curfew is not imposed on cement factories, and will not impact their operations, Jehad Al Rasheed, chairman of the National Cement Committee of the Council of Saudi Chambers, told Argaam in an exclusive.

“All cement factories are operating at normal capacity and delivery is ongoing,” Al Rasheed said.

Meanwhile, Al Rasheed added that cement producers own huge stockpiles, but their operations are normal under the current conditions.

The curfew ordered by King Salman across Saudi Arabia came into effect yesterday, March 23 from 7 pm to 6 am and will last for 21 days to control the spread of the COVID-19 disease, Argaam reported.
