Kuwait City: Head of the advisory committee for the Ministry of Health dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic In light of the seasonal change, the return of travellers, the restart of public education, the parliamentary rallies, and other factors, Dr. Khaled Al-Jarallah emphasised the need to strengthen general preventive guidelines and urge people to get seasonal flu vaccinations. Dr. Al-Jarallah recently reaffirmed the significance of education officials' roles in promoting the culture of public health and immunising children in educational curricula in a post on his Twitter account.

Additionally, the ministry has received approval to extend the Shuaiba incinerator operation, maintenance, and management contract for a further six months, from October 1 to March 31, 2023, at a projected cost of KD 83,000.
