No coronavirus (COVID-19) cases were registered in Kuwait in the last 24 hours, said the Health Ministry Saturday.
Assistant Secretary at the Health Ministry Dr. Buthaina Al-Mudhaf said during a press conference that the ministry along with other state bodies were continuing to take measures to counter the coronavirus and fortunately, the efforts were thus far fruitful.
The State of Kuwait will continue to evacuate citizens from heavily infected coronavirus countries, revealing that 35 travelers coming from Iraq were sent to quarantine while 52 Kuwaitis arriving from Italy were under health inspection. All border entry points in Kuwait -whether via air, land, or sea – are under continuous supervision to detect any coronavirus infection cases, Dr. Al-Mudhaf said.
She affirmed that all those infected patients were in good health and recovering. The infected are receiving topnotch medical care at specialized facilities dedicated to the combating coronavirus.
Dr. Al-Mudhaf urged all citizens and expatriates to follow preventative measures to halt the spread of the coronavirus, stressing that the ministry is following up on all cases. The ministry previously announced that a team from the World Health Organization (WHO) is expected to arrive in Kuwait to assess the measures implemented against the coronavirus. The team is expected to deliver a statement later today in regards to the situation in Kuwait.
