Kuwait Ports Authority Stresses Immediate Moves Since Virus Outbreak
Kuwait Ports Authority has moved immediately following the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (Covid-19) in China, said the authority’s chief Wednesday.
Since January, it has issued several announcements and decisions that followed the guidelines of the World Health Organization (WHO), Sheikh Youssef Al-Abdullah said in a statement.
“We have had messages and meetings by using remote communication programs with friendly and sisterly countries to share experience with them in this regard,” he said.
He added that the authority had also communicated with china’s Port of Shanghai, which could overcome the crisis with the least losses.
He noted that his authority had done the same thing with the port authorities of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) member states with a view to working out joint plans to address the crisis.
In addition, the crews of incoming ships were tested for the novel coronavirus, in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, the Kuwait Ports Authority’s Director-General affirmed.
All ships were also disinfected eight times a day, and commodities and containers sanitized, with all workers using masks and gloves, he pointed out.
