KUWAIT CITY, Sept 7: Ministry of Health has denied the rumors that COVID- 19 laboratory test results were sent to people who did not take such tests. In a statement, the ministry highlighted the importance of verifying news from official sources to ensure the validity of the information before it is circulated.

The Ministry of Health called upon everyone to be careful before publishing and transmitting unverified information, and to refer with the official sources before circulating the information to ensure its accuracy.
