KUWAIT, 21st December, 2021 – The Kuwaiti cabinet has decided to impose a third shot on those who got vaccinated against the novel Coronavirus (Covid-19) nine months earlier, as of January 2nd, KUNA reported.

The cabinet also instructed that incoming passengers must carry out a negative PCR test 48 hours ahead of arrival, the Centre for Government Communication said on Twitter.

The decisions are part of a package of measures decreed by the cabinet during its meeting, it said, stating that a 10-day home quarantine will be imposed on all passengers coming to the country as of next Sunday.
