Field inspection teams affiliated with the Public Authority for Manpower (PAM), in cooperation with the Kuwaiti Ministry of Trade and Industry assigned by the Cabinet, continued their work on Wednesday.

On the sidelines of the inspection tour, the commission’s director general, Iman Al-Ansari said that the PAM has the status of a judicial police force, and in cooperation with the relevant authorities, it conducts inspection tours to limit the spread of the pandemic in light of the state’s effort to deal with the increase in the number of infected, Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) reported.

Al-Ansari confirmed that the assigned government teams, with the help of teams from the Ministry of Interior and the National Guard, are closely monitoring the compliance of all activities and commercial centers with health requirements round the clock, seven days a week.

She added that a plan had been prepared for the women’s field team to inspect hotels and wedding halls, which came in implementation of the cabinet decision issued on January 3, and is composed of the relevant authorities. She noted that the Kuwait Hotels Association showed its full cooperation by sending instructions and continuing to emphasize adherence to health requirements for all its employees.

She called on all citizens and residents to cooperate and abide by the health requirements issued by the Ministry of Health to attain the least number of cases.
