Work Resumption Unlikely After Eid Al Fitr Holidays

Minister of Health Sheikh Dr. Basel Al-Sabah said Saturday that efforts were going on to cut restrictions as much as possible, adding that work resumption is unlikely after Eid Al-Fitr holidays.

Speaking to reporters while launching a new quarantine center, the minister said that the first phase of the medical facility, involving 1,250 beds and a field hospital, had been completed. He added that the whole quarantine center with a total capacity of 5,000 beds would go into service by the end of next May.

Furthermore, another 250-bed fully equipped medical facility will be opened at the Fairground in Mishref area, the health minister pointed out. However, he rebuffed recent local press reports on increasing Covid-19 infections among medics as “untrue”, while urging people to follow relevant health guidelines, including washing hands frequently, not touching face, maintaining social distancing and wearing face masks.
