The jump of 2,642 cases took place on 22nd May 2020.
The Bell Curve (normal distribution) is not clearly discernible.
If you take May 21st as the peak (Daily New Cases) and then flip the curve, it is still going to be July 2020 before Saudi Arabia sees significant improvement.
Qatar which suffers over 43,000 cases also recorded a massive jump of over 1,500 new infections on 22nd May 2020. Qatar has a population of less than 2.8 million. Qatar airport is an aviation hub which is also home to Qatar Airlines.
What all this means is that the Gulf countries particularly the aviation hubs of Abu Dhabi (Etihad), Dhubai (Emirates) and Qatar are going to be shutdown for some time.
