Arrivals Unsure About Quarantine Condition
There has been widespread confusion and misunderstanding among arrivals regarding the three-day home quarantine, Al-Rai reported.
The daily quoted arrival passengers that instructions were given stipulating quarantine for three days and to conduct a PCR test to ensure the passenger is coronavirus negative. However, a health source confirmed that there is no decision to quarantine the returnees, but rather they are asked to conduct a PCR test within three days of their return and stay at home until they receive the results. A health source explained that arrivals are quarantined until the PCR test results, and can take one within 3 days, either on the first, second, or third day, but it should not exceed three days.
Regarding further issues facing arrivals to the country, the daily reported that a female citizen was unhappy that the Council of Ministers’ decisions was not widely circulated across regional and International airports. For example, travelers at Dubai Airport were forced to wait for hours, until the information about the quarantine exemption was checked, and after that, they were allowed to board the plane. However, upon their arrival at the airport, they were informed of the need to quarantine pending the results of the PCR test.
Another traveler also complained that they are not being informed on the Kuwait Traveler platform that there is a laboratory at Kuwait Airport to conduct the PCR test, and some are surprised that the laboratories mentioned on the platform are located inside the airport and some outside it.
Several departing passengers complained that the decision to ban the travel of unvaccinated citizens caused some family members to lose their reservations.
The daily reported that some citizens were questioning the measures taken by the Council of Ministers that restrict the freedom of citizens, many of whom have commercial interests abroad, others wish to travel for tourism to take advantage of the summer vacation, and some want to visit relatives and friends in some countries. The concerned authorities are called to reverse this decision as soon as possible so that citizens do not incur heavy financial losses due to the travel ban on unvaccinated citizens.
