KUWAIT CITY, June 15 (Xinhua) -- Kuwait health authorities said Wednesday that despite an increase in COVID-19 infections, the health situation in Kuwait remains stable, and taking precautionary measures would reduce the chances of infection.
Health Ministry Spokesman Abdullah Al-Sanad said the recent increase in COVID-19 infections around the world and in the Gulf region including Kuwait should not cause any alarm in the emirate, adding that none of the existing patients in Kuwait were under intensive care.
He called on the public to take precautionary measures to reduce the chances of infection, saying individuals with respiratory symptoms should conduct self-isolation, children should not go to summer clubs, and people traveling abroad need to avoid enclosed or crowded spaces.
