Finally! Yesterday the government announced that if you’re fully vaccinated you no longer need to get a PCR test when coming back into Kuwait from travel. I’m flying out to Istanbul next where they also don’t require a PCR test on arrival so this is very cool news. It’s going to feel like normal travel pre-covid except for the masks!

Lets goooo Daaawg !! 🤘
What exactly does fully vaccinated mean? Is 2 doses of vaccine enough or do you need to have had the booster shot also?
fully vaccinated = green in your immune app
Fully Vaccinated – Are those who have received booster dose approved by Kuwait health ministry
Non Fully Vaccinated – Who have not completed their vaccination dose approved by Kuwait health ministry.
Not true, fully vaccinated are people with a green status in the immune app. that could be people with two vaccine doses with the second dose taken less than 9 months ago, or people who have taken 2 shots plus a booster. There is also a another option which is two shots plus a positive Covid test I think in the last 30 days or something.
Marky Boy making that paper ! 🔥
Great news
So mark,
Our pcrs are gone but do we have to check for countries who accept us without having a pre pcr done upon arrival?
Yeah, if a country requires a PCR on entry you would still need a PCR
I do like the decision but would you not feel safer knowing that the person sitting next to you has taken a PCR test and has tested negative??
I agree. I’m in a high-risk group and would 100% prefer going back to PCRs (prior to traveling). I don’t understand what the big deal is, particularly when traveling by plane sitting close to strangers.
Not everyone can afford to take PCR prior to departure. I know it might be a unpopular opnion but you can double mask and wear disposable clothes if you are that worried. If that doesn’t work out book an additional seat so you can travel freely.
It’s not about being a big deal or not but covid isn’t forever and we’ve mostly all been vaccinated, gotten our booster shots, and at one point in time contracted covid anyway. Life is slowly going to go back to pre-covid days.
So the chances of contracting Covid from a fully vaccinated, non-tested, Covid + person is nil?
You can still contract covid but if you’re vaccinated you’re not gonna die though so we good.
Etihad requires a PCR test regardless of whether your destination required it or not. How annoying..
Yes—it seems some airlines still require a negative PCR test to fly :-[
Mark, is Kuwait allowing visitors in or not yet? if yes, does that mean if a person is coming with a visa do they need a pcr test?
