Kuwait’s Health Ministry has decided to suspend holidays of all its workers, starting from Sunday until the end of January due to the global COVID-19 pandemic and emergence of the new highly transmissible Omicron variant, Al Jarida newspaper reported.

Kuwait on Wednesday announced detecting 12 more cases of Omicron in people coming from Europe, bringing the total such infections in the country to 13.

The country’s health authorities will take several steps if the Omicron cases surged. These measures include suspending non-emergency operations, opening more wards and intensive care units as well as the reinstatement of field hospitals, Al Jarida newspaper, citing well-informed health sources.

“The ministry is prepared to handle any potential increases in infections in the next days,” the sources said.

“Obtaining the booster shot is considered one of the most protective methods against the new variant, especially as we are about to enter the month of January, a season of viral diseases,” they added.
