Kuwait bans entry for non-citizens until further notice

Kuwait’s Civil Aviation Authority on Saturday announced it was extending an entry ban for non-Kuwaiti citizens until further notice as part of coronavirus restriction measures, it said on Twitter.

“Based on the instructions of health authorities, it has been decided to extend the ban on non-Kuwaiti passengers’ entry until further notice. Kuwaiti passengers can continue to enter, given that they quarantine in one of the approved local hotels for a period of seven days and self-isolate at home for another seven days,” it added.

Citizens are still allowed to enter but they must spend a week in quarantine at a hotel and another week at home.

Kuwait said on Friday it will allow non-Kuwaiti citizens to enter the country starting February 21 with some new procedures.
