Health situation stable
Kuwait:
Kuwaiti health authorities said Wednesday that despite an increase in COVID-19
infections, the health situation in Kuwait remains stable, and taking
precautionary measures will reduce the chances of infection. Health Ministry
Spokesman Abdullah Al-Sanad said the recent increase in COVID-19 infections
around the world and in the Gulf region including Kuwait should not cause any
alarm in the country, adding that none of the COVID patients in Kuwait are under
intensive care.
Dr Sanad said there is coordination with the World Health Organization (WHO)
concerning the spread of the coronavirus. He called on the public to take
precautionary measures to reduce the chances of infection, saying individuals
with respiratory symptoms should self-isolate, children should not go to summer
clubs, and people traveling abroad need to avoid enclosed or crowded spaces. The
Kuwaiti government lifted all COVID-19 restrictions in May.
