The Ministry of Health revealed that the Ministry’s teams have started random surveys and medical checks in all areas of Kuwait, reported Al Rai daily. The teams from the Public Health Department began yesterday a drive to organize surveys and medical checks from one house in every street in various areas, where only one person is randomly chosen for coronavirus tests to determine if he/she, is or was infected or not or was infected and recovered.
Around 120-250 people will be randomly chosen for smear tests. As for the blood test, it focuses on the presence of antibodies and the possibility of the person recovering without showing any symptoms of the coronavirus. The results of the test will be utilized to discuss the policy of herd immunity or not especially in a case of monitoring large numbers like those who have recovered without even knowing they were infected.
If more than 40% of those who are to be tested are cured as a part of herd immunity policy, then this cases will be highlighted as the next necessary steps to move to next stage. The daily reported that the teams will approach without prior dates as their efforts are to target all Kuwaitis and expats to ensure that infection rates are contained and any other significant facts are monitored and controlled.
