Airport During COVID19

Kuwait airport is starting to close down because of COVID 19. Before, they closed down the airport. Kuwaiti Tourists were returning to Kuwait following the order of the Kuwaiti government. Medical tourists and elderly citizens were the main priority. Kuwaitis who are studying abroad are the last ones to arrive. This operation is considered the biggest evacuation that Kuwait had conducted. Everybody took the COVID 19 test at the airport and had to isolate themselves for two weeks. So people won’t spread the virus to their families, and now the airport is back in business, but some countries aren’t allowed to enter Kuwait because of the virus, and the country doesn’t want to go back to square 1.

grocery shopping in covid19

The curfew in Kuwait started in march, many people were panicking, all of the groceries in Kuwait were full, and many people were buying in large quantities. Because of the curfew, all of the groceries needed a website to deliver food to people in their homes during the curfew, and they did this to let people feel food secure, and they will have food even in the curfew. 

Moreover, supermarkets had changed their ways of services. They are now appointment oriented services. People will have to go online and set up appointments. Also, they check your tempter and your appointment Qr code before entering. Moreover, you aren’t allowed to enter the supermarket if you aren’t wearing a mask and gloves.
