Public quarantine is constitutional – ARAB TIMES – KUWAIT NEWS – Arab Times Kuwait English Daily

KUWAIT CITY, March 4: Dr Ibrahim Al-Hamoud, a Constitutional Law Lecturer from the Department of Public Law in Kuwait University's Faculty of Law, says the issue of quarantine is a very important topic that is subjected to what is known as administrative control, reports Al-Anba daily.. Since 1968, the Kuwaiti legislation organized the rules of quarantine and gave the health minister the right to quarantine during the time period that is predetermined based on the health cases, type of disease, the epidemic, its extent and the way it is transmitted.. The matter is solely based on the Kuwaiti Constitution, which it stipulates that the state "and specifically the executive branch" has a duty to preserve public health, public security, and public stability in the society..
