The period will be considered as an exceptional official holiday for citizens and residents who are unable to return due to the suspension of flights or if they face quarantine after their return to the Kingdom, SPA cited the official as saying.
Saudi Arabia has reported 86 coronavirus cases.
On Thursday, it suspended all social gatherings in wedding halls and hotels over the outbreak.
It also suspended the counting phase of the 2020 general census until further notice because of the virus.
