Kuwait's cabinet said on Tuesday that direct commercial flights for India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka are limited to departing flights only, while cargo flights will continue, until further notice.

The cabinet also ended requiring quarantine for incoming travelers who are vaccinated or those who have recovered from COVID-19 not more than 90 days ago, provided they conduct a PCR test within three days from their arrival date.

Furthermore, restaurants and cafes across Kuwait were given the go-ahead to welcome customers for dine-ins as of Sunday.
