Kuwait will require travellers arriving to the country to have the Covid-19 vaccine booster shot if more than nine months have passed since their vaccination, the government communication centre tweeted on Monday, Reuters reports.

Kuwait will also require incoming travellers to quarantine at home for 10 days unless they receive a negative PCR test for the coronavirus within 72 hours of their arrival.
