He said many elderly people were infected with the virus even though they did not leave their homes, and some of them were in the intensive care units. Sheikh Basel said family gatherings, no physical distancing and failure to implement hygienic rules contributed to the rise of Kuwaiti cases. “We don’t want things to be out of control,” he warned. “We are capable of controlling the pandemic and we don’t want the pandemic to control us,” he said. “Moving to the second phase requires compliance with health instructions,” said the minister. , (KUNA)
