An Upward Trend In Indicators Allows Domestic Worker Recruitment To Return To Normal

​Bassam Al-Shammari, the specialist in domestic labor affairs, has called on the ministries of Interior and Health, along with the Public Authority for Manpower and the Directorate-General of Civil Aviation, to issued a decision to allow in both expatriate workers and passengers who are not vaccinated to enter the country, thus eliminating the need for Corona vaccination certificates..

As Al-Shammari told Al-Jarida, "the easing of restrictions on travel, recruitment of workers, and gatherings has been an integral part of a gradual return to normal life and the stabilization of the health situation in the country," as well as the start of a fourth wave of epidemic spread. Due to the fact that it was becoming more difficult to recruit workers, the above condition needed to be removed.

As a result of tighter health procedures for domestic workers before they are allowed to leave their countries, coupled with the stabilization of the health situation in their countries, there has been a noticeable decline in the number of infections among domestic workers who have arrived in the country, indicating that it will likely be possible to restore the previous recruitment procedures (as they were prior to the outbreak of the pandemic) for household workers.

In addition to activating the DGCA's circular, Al-Shammari urged it to lift the quarantine on workers who entered Kuwait last week, that is, before the circular went into effect, and to waive the institutional quarantine imposed on newly recruited domestic workers as soon as they arrive in Kuwait, as well as lifting the quarantine on newly recruited workers already in Kuwait.
