Unvaccinated Kuwaitis banned from travel abroad

Kuwaiti citizens who have not been vaccinated against Covid-19 will not be able to travel abroad from May 22, the information ministry said on Monday, citing a decision by Kuwait's cabinet.

The ban does not include people in age groups ineligible to receive vaccinations.

A previous directive banning the entry of non-Kuwaitis into the Gulf state still stands, the statement said.
