One year into COVID-19, third curfew begins…
Kuwait will come under a partial curfew from Sunday, the third such curfew since the start of the pandemic in early 2020. The new curfew, which is slated to come into effect from Sunday, 7 March, will limit the movement of people outside their homes from 5am until 5pm for a month to 8 April.
The curfew hours and the one-month period could be extended or reduced by the authorities depending on the evolving infection rate in the country. The first curfew which lasted from 5pm until 4pm began on 22 March, 2020. With the infection situation showing no signs of abatement, a full curfew was imposed on 10 May of last year that extended until 30 May.
