Shoppers have their temperatures checked before entering a mall in Jiddah, Saudi Arabia, Monday, June 15, 2020. This was supposed to be Saudi Arabia's year to shine as host of the prestigious G20 gathering of world leaders. Instead, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the gathering this November will likely be a virtual meet-up. The impact of the coronavirus and low oil prices have forced a recalibration of Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s ambitious plans to revamp Saudi society and its oil-dependent economy.
