Thousands of expatriates, including domestic workers, have been stranded abroad after Kuwait announced in August a ban on flights with dozens of countries over the coronavirus concerns.

Around 80,000 domestic workers are expected to return to Kuwait in five months after the government gave the go-ahead for their return, according Al Qabas newspaper reports.

Majority of domestic workers in Kuwait are from banned countries such as India, the Philippines and Sri Lanka.

“Suggestions made regarding the domestic workers’ return include the arrival of 600 daily on two flights amid stringent health measures to examine them before and upon their arrival and after going into institutional quarantine,” Al Qabas newspaper quoted what it stated as a well-informed source.

The Kuwaiti bodies concerned have discussed with the Union of Hotels in the country preparedness to designate some hotels to serve as quarantines for the returnees, the source added.
