Kuwait reduces its lockdown to 12 hours as virus cases continue to climb
Kuwait previously instituted a 24-hour curfew to stop the spread of COVID-19.
Kuwait is moving to a 12-hour curfew to stop the spread of COVID-19 tomorrow from the current 24-hour one.
Starting on May 30, the curfew in the Gulf country will be from 6:00 pm to 6:00 am, according to the country’s interior minister.
“We are moving to a partial curfew,” Anas Al-Saleh said, according to the state-run Kuwait News Agency.
The decision follows the “negative experiences of many countries” and was based on recommendations from the World Health Organization and US health authorities, the agency reported.
