The number of coronavirus cases in Saudi Arabia exceeded 150,000 on Friday following a rise in new infections over the past 10 days.
The Saudi Ministry of Health reported 4,301 new cases on Friday, taking the total to 150,292, with 1,184 deaths. The country hit more than 100,000 cases on June 7.
The Ministry of Health also announced 1,849 recoveries and 45 deaths on Friday.

The number of new infections has continued to rise in recent weeks, as authorities began phasing out restrictions on movement and travel on May 28.
The restrictions were imposed in March to help curb the spread of the virus.
Authorities announced last month that the nationwide curfew would be lifted completely on June 21, with the exception of the holy city of Makkah and Jeddah.
