Buffets at restaurants and hotels in Kuwait will be permitted, provided they adhere to physical spacing and health requirements, set by the Health Conditions Committee.
The committee also decided to allow laundries to operate after 8pm. However, they are not allowed to open doors or receive customers inside, they can rather perform their duties to prepare clothes and deliver them to their owners the next day, Al Qabas daily reported.
The committee also ended the halt to activities in sports stadiums in investment areas.
The spokesman for Kuwait’s Ministry of Health, Dr Abdullah Al Sanad, revealed that 61 per cent of those infected with COVID-19 throughout the month of January were Kuwaitis.
On Tuesday, Kuwait recorded 1,002 new COVID-19 cases and six deaths, making it one of the highest number of positive cases and deaths registered in a single day since the start of the pandemic.
Given the steep increase in cases, Kuwait has enforced several new measures from banning non-Kuwaitis from travelling to Kuwait for two weeks to closing down saloons and gyms for a month. In addition, the government is considering enforcing a curfew, if cases continue to rise
