Capital Governor Sheikh Talal Al-Khaled stressed the need to adopt urgent solutions to the problem of overpopulation in residential buildings as this factor could contribute to the transmission of COVID-19, reports Al- Seyassah/Arab Times daily.

In a press release, he asked, “How is it possible that more than 700 expatriates live in one building especially in light of the current coronavirus crisis?”

On the sidelines of his visit to a building in Mirqab area where more than 700 expatriates live including those infected with COVID-19, Sheikh Talal stressed the need to take legal measures towards landlords and tenants in a manner that ensures such situations do not recur.
