Kuwait will extend the suspension of work in the public sector including at government ministries until May 31 and expand a nationwide curfew to 16 hours as part of efforts to combat the novel coronavirus, a government spokesman said.
He told a televised news conference that the 4pm to 8am curfew would go into effect at the start of the holy month of Ramazan, which could fall on Thursday or later this week depending on the sighting of the new crescent moon.
