The government of Kuwait last week suspended the entry of foreigners, put a curfew on malls, and forced health clubs and barbershops to close for at least a month.
The country of 4.3 million has registered a total of 996 COVID deaths since last February (0.023 percent) or 0.00209 percent per month over 11 months.
The ban on the entry of foreigners will span two weeks. Relatives and domestic workers are exempt from the regulations.
Only 1,000 passengers will be allowed to enter the country. Since 24 January when the government announced the restrictions would be put in place, some 60,000 airline reservations were canceled.
Travel bureaus in Kuwait are not alone, as the worldwide travel industry saw a decline of 42 percent in 2020, Investopedia reported.
Because they are making these numbers up, Tareq Al Mezrem, a spokesman from the Kuwaiti Cabinet of Ministers, said last Wednesday that beginning 21 February, all visitors will be forced to stay in quarantine at a hotel for seven days on arrival in the country and pay for it out of their own pockets. The Gulf News reported that upon completion of the quarantine inside the hotel, these visitors will be forced to quarantine for an additional seven days inside a home.
On Saturday, salon workers in the country held a protest calling for the government to allow their businesses to reopen. The rallies were effective. Another government spokesman said Prime Minister Sabah Al-Khaled Al-Sabah said he would reconsider the move.
TRENDPOST: Why are relatives and domestic workers exempt? Because in the madness of making up rules and regulations to fight the COVID War without any basis of scientific data, it appears the virus knows how to avoid those the government categorizes as exemptions and only attacks “foreigners.”
And why are 1,000 and not 950 or 2,320 passengers per day allowed to enter the country? For the same reason: they are making this up.
Again, the implications of the lockdowns are destroying millions of more lives and livelihoods than the virus.
