A day after Kuwait announced that only vaccinated people can travel and enter the cinema, vaccination centres saw a huge turnout with thousands of people receiving the jab in one day.

According to Dr. Khaled Al Jarallah, head of the COVID-19 supreme advisory committee at the Ministry of Health, the Mishref fairground vaccination centre saw a huge turnout with around 22,000 people receiving the jab in one day.

Al Jarallah shared on Twitter that the vaccination path is the way back to normalcy. People rushed to vaccination centres as Kuwait decided to lift some restrictions on those who are vaccinated.

On Monday, Kuwait’s Cabinet of Ministers issued a decision saying that from May 22 all Kuwaitis, their first degree relatives and domestic workers are barred from travelling out of Kuwait unless they are vaccinated.

Those who are permitted to travel are the following:

(i) those who have got both doses and two weeks have passed since the second dose;
(ii) those who have got one dose and five weeks have passed; and
(iii) those who have got the first dose then got COVID-19 can travel two weeks after testing positive
