Kuwait’s Cabinet on Wednesday agreed to revoke all coronavirus vaccination and PCR testing requirements for incoming travelers.

At an extraordinary meeting, the Cabinet also decided face mask wearing at indoor and outdoor places will now be optional, official Kuna news agency reported.

Symptomatic Covid-19 patients must still wear masks, Deputy Prime Minister, Oil Minister and State Minister for Cabinet Affairs Mohammad Al Fares.

All vaccinated and unvaccinated people would be given access to all public places regardless of their vaccination status, and PCR tests would be no longer mandatory at educational institutions and workplaces, the minister added.

The Cabinet has also cancelled quarantine restrictions for those who may have close contact with Covid-19 patients, but they have to put on masks for 14 days and get PCR tests within 14 days of the contact, he said.

Unvaccinated fans would be allowed back into stadiums, according to the Cabinet's decision.

The Cabinet urged worshippers to keep sticking to health guidelines and precautions, including the wearing of masks and having their own rugs at all mosques and prayer places./KUNA
