KUWAIT, March 18 : It is yet unknown whether the rising temperature in the State of Kuwait during summer will have an effect on the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19), said a Health Ministry official Wednesday.
In a press conference, Health Ministry Spokesman Dr. Abdullah Al-Sanad indicated that there is no reliable study so far that correlates the decrease of coronavirus spread to increasing temperatures.


There are regions in the world that had increasing temperatures yet the virus still continues to spread, noted the spokesman.


Whether patients contracting the coronavirus will have immunity, Dr. Al-Sanad revealed that in China, 14 percent of tests done on recovering patients had shown that symptoms did not return after hospital discharge; however, such data is still inconclusive.


In Kuwait, the Health Ministry continues to be vigilant and some 105 clinics as well as other health facilities work throughout the day and night to fend off the spread of the virus, he said.

In regards to those who recovered in Kuwait, currently at 15, Dr. Al-Sanad revealed that the age of the recoverees varied, adding that what is needed now was to increase campaign of awareness in the country to vanquish the disease. (KUNA) —
