Kuwait Municipality on Wednesday said that groceries that sell directly to the public during the period of the comprehensive ban will be closed with immediate effect as they are only allowed to do home delivery after receiving requests via phone or electronic means of communication.

In a press release, the municipality added that the supervisory teams in the six governorates continue to inspect groceries and parallel markets to ensure their commitment to implementing health requirements in accordance with administrative decision (No. 810 of 2020).

The supermarkets and groceries staff must use gloves and masks for their employees in order to limit the spread of the new Corona virus (Covid 19) based on the decisions issued by the health authorities.

The municipality called the owners of groceries and parallel markets to implement the health and preventive requirements in accordance with the decisions and circulars issued in order to avoid the violation.
