  • 25/03/2022

Kuwait City: The Ministry of Health has given more concessions to the restrictions as the situation in Covid improves in the country. According to a local newspaper, health ministry sources said that PCR tests are no longer required before being admitted to hospitals or undergoing operations. The Ministry of Health has decided to grant the exemption as the number of Covid cases in the country has come down drastically on a daily basis.


However, those suspected of having Covid can be tested. The test is not excluded for those with symptoms such as high fever, headache, and shortness of breath. People with chronic diseases can now be admitted to hospitals and undergo surgery without a PCR test.
