KUWAIT CITY, Mar 15: Recovering from the coronavirus (COVID-19) and the announcements made in this regard are matters of technicality rather than anything else, said Health Ministry spokesman Dr. Abdullah Al-Sanad on Sunday.

Answering the press on the sideline of the ministry's coronavirus update conference, Dr. Al-Sanad revealed that coronavirus screenings for thousands of expatriates, held in Mishref area's fairground, all came out negative so far after four days of extensive tests.

The Health official affirmed that the Health Ministry was up-to-date with the latest data on the coronavirus, especially from the World Health Organization (WHO), taking the necessary steps and decisions to announce new measures to counter the spread of the virus.

Any recovery announcement will be made according to proper protocols to ensure the safety of the people, he reiterated.
He urged citizens and expatriates alike to stay at their homes and follow up on the most recent statements and news connected with coronavirus.
