The website is currently soft launch phase but still contains a good amount of data. My comments would be that I’d like to see some travel information like which countries are flights restricted from. I’d also like to see a section on temporary measures taken because of the Corona outbreak like how waiters must wear masks and gloves now or how shisha places are temporary not allowed to serve shisha (like is this true for example?). Here is the link.
Thanks Cold2zero

Thanks Ozzy.
Love ur new album.
Loved the duet with Elton John lol
64 cases out of 4 million plus people. I’m not sure about my math but that’s about 1 in 70,000 people. Are we freaking out more than necessary here? I don’t mean the government’s containment, that’s understandable and so far effective, just the general public fear…
Well then how do you justify banning flights from/to India with a population 1.4 billion and confirmed cases 39?
That’s over freaking out then!
India is on a time bomb, with that kind of population, and creaky public health care network. I fear its a matter of time before it becomes really big there
In my opinion, it’s good to instill a bit of fear in the general public. Imagine if you just brush it off and think of it as no big deal. Do you think people would take the measures seriously? I don’t think so. Then it will be harder to contain the virus. It is not just the government’s responsibility but that of the public as well. To stay safe for themselves and others. I see this as educating the community and being wary of everything that is happening. It’s not really fear-mongering.
Seeing as how rapidly just a few cases can spread from what we saw happen in iran and italy, and how unprepared the Kuwaiti government is to treat so many cases at a given time, the government has all the right to instill fear as just a few cases if left unchecked could cause complete chaos in the country.
Hi Mark thanks for the comments, the website do have information about Corona “measures taken because of the Corona” on this link
https://corona.e.gov.kw/en/Home/NovelCoronavirus .
Regarding the “travel information” this information is related to MOI not MOH, and the site purpose is to publish the medical information about the Novel Corona
-Corona Site Developer
But why not have one website with all corona kuwait info instead of having to check a bunch of different Instagram accounts?
we will take your comments into consideration, and thanks again for your valuable input
Thumbs up
Hi Shado Walker,
Can u also include in the website nationality and whether case was local or from abroad. Meaning did the person get the infection without travelling or got it as he had travelled.
Check out this Indian site
https://covidout.in/
Does anyone else see this when entering the URL?
“This site is blocked due to a security threat that was discovered by the Cisco Umbrella security researchers”
I am unable to open it from my office network.
Information not accurate. There are 6 cases in ICU, not 3. Also, we should be very concerned. It is HIGHLY likely that we will see a significant increase over the next few weeks. This is just the beginning. This information is first hand coming from one of the 2 Infectious Diseases doctors taking care of the patients.
Is there any rule (from Kuwait Municipality) that everyone must wear a mask, if not they will fined for KD 20/- ??
as there is a Whatsapp message going on, in which it says that few people were stopped on the road by so called “Municipality Officers” and asked to wear masks, if not they will be fined
Absolute bullshit…
Although wearing a mask properly is helpful in some cases
And please all you smartasses don’t come at me I said the mask should be worn properly and that it’s only helpful in some cases
There should be a handy website to track and alert on all infectious disease statistics.
We should be more worried about antibiotic resistant tuberculosis than this!
Does anyone remember AIDS? If only as much concern went into education on condom use instead of wasting time putting on a face mask -that apparently offers no protection against contracting the illness – we would all be in a better situation.
all Kuwait cinemas closed till further notice
They should just close down the country for 2 weeks. only the Health sector should work.
People should relax at home and cleanse themselfs instead of coming to work.
But the issue is that poeple shouldnt conside this as a holiday and take their boats to the sea or hit the Chalet. Instead people should be confined to their homes and think of cleaning up the place and just stop being potential careers. if kuwait implements this I BET we could come out of this situation very effectively. Its a bold step but iam sure its gonna nail it.
“People should relax at home and cleanse themselves instead of coming to work”
Wishful thinking! Kuwait is one of the few countries where I see a dramatic reluctance to work-at-home. I dont know whether it is the trust issue or plain ignorance but it is these times that require deviation from archaic norms.In today’s world, it is fairly simple to conduct most work from home.
I have been requesting for remote working but to no avail in my organization!
You got your wish! Everybody is off except for folks attached to Ministry of Defense and other Essential people in the Oil Field jobs…..#SIGH
My wife shows symptoms of cold flu in Mahboula-1, where should I take her as I have no car and taxis are not available.

Call 151
Thanks Ambulance took her to Adan hospital for Corona check-up.
Thank you so much.
I would also suggest a faster and easier hotline number than the one currently on the site!
