Kuwait mandates booster shots for vaccinated citizens who want to travel

LONDON: Kuwaiti citizens who have been vaccinated over 9 months ago and have not received a booster dose are banned from travel abroad, the state’s civil aviation authority announced on Thursday. The new ban will go into effect on Sunday, the authority said in a statement published on its official Twitter account. Those traveling to Kuwait will need a negative PCR test taken no later than 48 hours before travel, and will be required to home quarantine for 10 days after arrival. A negative PCR test taken 72 hours after landing can end the quarantine.
