Saudi king to undergo tests due to high fever, state news agency says

Saudi Arabia's King Salman is suffering from "high temperature" and joint pain and will undergo his second round of medical tests in less than a month, state media reported on Sunday.

The tests will take place at a clinic at the Al-Salam Palace in Jeddah, the Royal Court said in a statement published by the official Saudi Press Agency (SPA).

King Salman "suffers from a high temperature and pain in the joints," the statement said. "The treating medical team decided to conduct some tests to diagnose the health condition and to ensure his health."

King Salman underwent surgery to remove his gall bladder in 2020.
