Kuwait Ministry of Interior said Thursday policemen arrested four expatriate workers for cutting barbed wire fence to break out of Mahboula Area in Al-Ahmadi Governorate which is locked down due to coronavirus (Covid-19) outbreak.
“During interrogations, the four persons confessed to the charges, and therefore legal measures to extradite them from Kuwait got underway,” according to a press release from the Ministry’s public relations and security media department.
Highlighting the need of everybody abiding by the decisions related to the combat against Covid-19 pandemic, the statement said, “The security institution adopts a policy of zero tolerance in enforcing the lockdown to protect the public health.”
Based on recommendations from the health authorities, the cabinet decided on Monday to lock down Mahboula and Jleeb Al- Shuyoukh, Farwaniyah Governorate, after several infection cases were identified in both Areas.
