Barrier pulled in front of Kaaba due to Covid-19

Turkish pilgrim candidates who reached the Makkah were surprised by the regulations made after the Covid-19 pandemic. New arrangements made by the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Hajj and Umrah due to Covid-19 were added to the discussions that started with the dismantling of the historical porticoes around the Kaaba that the Ottomans built as a tribute to the Bayt Allah. Pilgrims who show respect to the area between the Black Stone and the Kaaba door and the walls of the Kaaba will no longer be able to touch the surrounding of the Kaaba in any way due to the barrier that being placed. Previously, Muslims who visited Black Stone during quiet periods were praying to the house of Allah, Bayt Allah. Pilgrim candidates who find peace by praying in Hijri Ismail, which is considered as the interior of the Kaaba, can no longer experience these beauties. It is no longer possible to touch anywhere because of the barriers placed around the Kaaba, using the covid-19 measures as an excuse.
