Kuwait has lifted all COVID-19 restrictions for vaccinated people.

Prime Minister Sheikh Sabah Khaled Al-Hamad Al-Sabah made the announcement during a news conference.

Kuwait airport will resume operating at full capacity from October 24, the cabinet spokesman told the same conference.

The latest easing includes permitting the holding of conferences, weddings and other social events, provided that attendance is limited to those who have been vaccinated.

Wearing masks remains mandatory in public places.

The Gulf country has been witnessing a gradual return to normal life as daily cases of coronavirus have steadily declined.
