The Ministerial Committee for the Implementation of Health Requirements has undertaken five new decisions within the framework of introducing a gradual return to normalcy plan, reports Al Rai daily.
Director-General of the Kuwait Municipality, Engr Ahmad Al-Manfouhi, said that the committee decided to reopen restaurants, shops and some activities, according to their operation standards that were in place before the coronavirus pandemic. Restaurants were allowed to work for 24 hours, and to reopen massage parlors and prayer rooms in malls and complexes. However, the shops in the private housing areas are required to close at 12:00 midnight.
Al-Manfouhi asserted that hookah is still not allowed to be served in cafes for customers, while the issue of the recommencement of sports academies has not been discussed. Meanwhile, the government is preparing a draft law that will impose penalties and other punitive measures against those who do not comply with the health requirements, especially those who do not wear face masks.
