Kuwait will allow non-Kuwaiti citizens to enter the country starting Feb 21 with some new procedures, the civil aviation authority has said in a statement.

According to Reuters, travellers arriving on direct flights from high-risk countries will have to resort to institutional quarantine in one of the local hotels for 14 days, while travellers coming from the rest of the world will have to quarantine institutionally for one week and another at home.

Kuwait suspended entry for non-citizens for two weeks starting Feb 7 amid efforts to deal with the coronavirus.
