There is no epidemic diseases among the pilgrims and the health situations are safe, the minister added in statements.
The ministry constantly coordinates with the ministries of Hajj and Foreign Affairs to take all necessary measures at border terminald and airports, he added.
The medical staff are striving to protect pilgrims from two deadly viruses, Ebola and the MERS coronavirus.
The Saudi Ministry of Health (MOH) has banned the issuance of Hajj and Umrah visas for Sierra Leone, Guinea, and Liberia because of concerns about the spread of the Ebola virus in these countries.
Upon arrival to the kingdom, pilgrims were asked to fill out "medical screening cards with data" and asked about their travels in the past 21 days, the minister said.
