KUWAIT CITY, Feb 20: In the last 48 hours, Kuwait has raised the ceiling of precautionary measures due to the increase in COVID-19 infection and death rates. This has rendered the reinstatement of curfew to become almost certain, awaiting a decision to be issued during the Cabinet meeting scheduled for tomorrow.
The Minister of Interior Sheikh Thamer Al-Ali and the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Interior Lieutenant General Essam Al-Naham held a meeting to discuss the preparations and measures that the Ministry of Interior would take in the event of a partial or total curfew.
Lieutenant General Essam Al-Naham yesterday issued a circular to the ministry’s officials, asking them to prepare for implementing necessary measures in the event of a partial or total curfew in the coming days, and calling for increasing the readiness of all field sectors.
Messenger KUWAIT CITY, Feb 20: The decision issued by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Thursday to mandate institutional quarantine for passengers arriving to Kuwait has sparked protests in both Kuwaiti and non- Kuwaiti circles, as well as the Parliament.
They consider it to be inconsistent with Article No. 28 of the Constitution, which stipulates, “A Kuwaiti citizen may not be deported from Kuwait or prevented from returning to it.”
Some hinted at the influence of hotels and resorts in this decision. Informed sources suggested that the Cabinet may amend or correct the decision of DGCA, given its violation of the Constitution, indicating that the intention is to abolish the requirement of institutional quarantine for Kuwaitis returning from abroad and instead allow them to be home quarantined for 14 days.
