The Council of Ministers added a clause in the law for punishing people for not wearing masks, limiting the value of the fines to KD100. Al-Qabas daily reported quoting senior government sources.

The law aims to ensure adherence to health requirements and not to threaten, intimidate or to restrict people as some are saying.
