Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Anas Al-Saleh said Sunday security forces and National Guards would enforce the law during the partial curfew, which aimed at curbing spread of coronavirus.
Al-Saleh made the remarks during a field tour at major cross-roads and highways to see first- hand compliance with the daily curfew, which was imposed by the government yesterday to start from 5:00 p.m. until 4:00 a.m., the Ministry of interior said in a statement.
Al-Saleh, also Minister of State for Cabinet Affairs, urged security forces to deal decisively with anyone violating the curfew.
Al-Saleh commended the security forces in enforcing the curfew, which ultimately aimed at preserving wellbeing of public.
Al-Saleh warned earlier that anyone caught breaching the curfew will be jailed for up to three years and fined KD 10,000 pursuant to Civil Defense Law.
