Meanwhile, Kuwait's government urged citizens wishing to travel to acquire health insurance to cover costs of treatment in case of infections or accidents. It also said citizens and expatriates returning to Kuwait should provide a PCR test 72 hours before their arrival date; and that they should spend 14 days in home quarantine following their arrival.
