Kuwait May Ban Entry Of Incoming Passengers From Africa

The Corona Committee in the next few hours will hold a meeting with senior officials from the ministries of Health, Interior and Civil Aviation authorities to discuss the epidemiological situation in some countries.

The Government sources told Al-Qabas the authorities may issue a decision to ban the entry of incoming passengers from African countries where the new mutant has spread.

The sources indicated a special team from the Corona Committee has been closely following up the developments since the emergence of the new mutated virus and that the situation in some countries is being closely monitored.

The sources stressed that if this mutant is detected in the country, and the health requirements are not adhered to, the health authorities will be hard pressed to take decisions without hesitation, especially since Kuwait has so far succeeded in bringing down infection cases with the second dose.

The sources pointed out that the Corona Emergency Committee will stress on the need to take the booster dose as and when the situation requires to ensure the safety of everyone and the continued improvement and stability of the epidemiological health situation.

The sources said the competent authorities, especially at the airport, will stress on the need to ensure the safety of inbound passengers and enforce the PCR tests to ensure they are free of any virus.

The sources reiterated that the epidemiological situation in Kuwait is still reassuring, and no case of the new mutant has been detected.
