Kuwaitis has urged its citizens to avoid European travel over Omicron.
In a series of statements overnight on Sunday, the Gulf state also urged Kuwaitis already there to return home because of the surge in cases on the continent.
Europe has in the past few months again become the pandemic’s epicentre and is battling an upsurge of cases spurred on by the highly transmissible Omicron strain.
The foreign ministry said they should “delay their trips” generally and, in particular, to France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Spain and Italy.
It also urged its citizens, often big spenders abroad, to leave those countries “considering the significant and unprecedented rise in the number of new cases” of COVID-19.
