Kuwait has announced that all commercial activities will resume without any restrictions starting from Tuesday, July 27.

The cabinet on Monday announced that it had cancelled its decision to close commercial activities from 8pm, starting Tuesday.

It said that all activities will resume except for gatherings including conferences, weddings, and social events, which will remain banned until further notice.

However, while vaccinated people will be allowed access to all areas, those who have not been vaccinated will only be permitted entry into pharmacies, cooperative societies, food and catering markets, government buildings, hospitals and private medical centres, the official Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) reported.

The cabinet also confirmed that all activities for children will resume from September 1. It had closed all children’s summer clubs earlier this month.
