The National Assembly during its extraordinary session approved in the first and second deliberations, a project to amend some provisions of the Health Precautions Law to prevent communicable diseases, including the application of the law against violators of the health protocol and setting 50 dinars fine for violators, in addition to granting the Ministry of Health employees the right to arrest violators.
Al-Jarida said the National Assembly also approved the parliamentary recommendations regarding easing the Corona restrictions for those who are not vaccinated which were submitted to the parliament for deliberations after discussing government measures in dealing with the virus during the current session.
Parliament Speaker Marzouq Al-Ghanim said the Minister of Health apologized for not attending the session because he had an angioplasty, adding, “I spoke to him about these recommendations and he promised me to take them into consideration.”
The most prominent recommendations are to lift the immediate restrictions on non-vaccinated children, allow travel to countries that receive unvaccinated people, suffice with the second dose to consider the person fully immunized, and not differentiate between vaccinated children and others, in addition to not requiring a PCR test for citizens coming to Kuwait, and being satisfied with measures taken upon arrival, so as not to be a reason to detain them in the country from which they come.
