27th Feb 2020
The government of Kuwait has banned all travels to Thailand and two other countries over fears of its growing cases of coronavirus.
Kuwait’s civil aviation authority announced on Monday that all flights to Thailand, Italy, and South Korea will be suspended following news that their confirmed infections grew further. It said the ban was per the Kuwaiti Health Ministry’s order. The country has a total of five confirmed infections at present.
According to the ministry, any person who visited the four countries over the past two weeks will be denied of a visa, while Kuwaiti nationals who have traveled from those will be quarantined for 14 days.
In Thailand, the number of confirmed cases rose by two to 37 in total after a 31-year old woman and a 29-year old taxi driver were found to be infected.
