Kuwait is not considering imposing a total or partial curfew amid growing global concerns over the spread of the new COVID-19 variant Omicron, a senior official was quoted as saying by Al Rai newspaper.
The ministerial source said, “It is necessary to continue complying with health and preventive measures to maintain the stable epidemiological situation in Kuwait.”
So far, Kuwaiti authorities have said that the new strain has not been detected in the country, and have suspended flights from nine African nations.
The health scene is stable in Kuwait, the government spokesman Tareq Al Mazrem said Wednesday evening.
He added that all people in the country can get a booster shot against COVID-19 without prior appointments provided that six months have elapsed since they obtained the second dose of vaccination.
The Kuwaiti Foreign Ministry this week urged citizens against travelling abroad unless necessary.
