Farwaniya curfew expected to be lifted as new infections drop

Coronavirus Infections in Farwaniya governorate have dropped during the last 10 days, compared with other areas in Kuwait, giving residents hope that the curfew will be lifted in the coming days.

As the country prepares to move to the third stage of the plan, which includes raising the operational percentage in government departments and private sector to 50 per cent and also opening up of hotels, resorts, social care home visits as well as restarting taxi service with only one passenger, all curfew areas are expected to be lifted.

While the diagnosed cases continue to remain high, recoveries also are high and those under treatment continue to be just under 10,000.

Under the current circumstances the third phase is expected to begin on July 21, three weeks after the beginning of the second phase which was June 30.

MOH will make its assessment prior to the shifting to the third stage but all indications are showing signs that the third stage will begin on schedule.
