Kuwaitis and Kuwait residents will be able to enter and exit the country again starting Saturday, but travelers from some countries will still be barred.

Kuwait’s Center for Government Communication said today that citizens and residents of Kuwait will be able to travel to and from the country starting Saturday. People coming from India, the Philippines, Pakistan, Iran, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Nepal will still not be allowed to enter, the center said in a tweet.

Kuwait closed its airport in March to regularly scheduled passenger flights, like many other countries in the region. Some repatriation flights have continued operating.

The countries from which people cannot arrive are struggling to contain COVID-19. Iran has been perhaps the hardest hit by the virus in the Middle East and now has a shortage of medical workers. In India, the virus has become so widespread that some communities in impoverished, urban areas may be developing herd immunity. Bangladesh recently made headlines when a man was arrested for allegedly issuing thousands of fake COVID-19 tests.
