The Kuwait Cabinet has decided to allow all commercial activities to operate without restrictions as of today
The government spokesman said all commercial activities will from today operate as per the decisions and regulations of the Municipality and ministry of commerce and industry, which was the case before the pandemic, including in malls, restaurants, cafes, commercial shops, and others.
The cabinet continued to ban large gatherings including conferences, weddings, and other social events, including gatherings at diwaniyas, according to Mazrem. Vaccinated are allowed to enter all places, but unvaccinated people can only enter pharmacies, cooperative societies, food markets, medical centers, and hospitals, local reports said.
The Cabinet also decided that all activities for children will reopen from September 1.
Expats who wish to return to the country must have been vaccinated with two doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, or Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccines or one dose of the Johnson & Johnson jab.
Returnees must produce an electronic vaccination certificate with a QR code, as authorities at the airport will not accept paper documents. Health authorities must be able to read the QR code of the vaccination certificates issued by the health ministries of other countries. Residents with valid residencies will be allowed to return to the country as of August 1. The Cabinet also decided to resume direct flights to Morocco and Maldives, but direct aviation links with Egypt and other countries remain suspended.
He however explained that regardless if direct flights are allowed or not, residents wishing to return must be fully vaccinated and can return from any country.
