DUBAI: the govt of Kuwait imposed a partial curfew on March 22 starting 14:00 and running until 01:00 (GMT) time thanks to non-compliance with instructions to remain home, state press agency KUNA reported.

The protection Committee will issue IDs for people working in vital sectors to permit them to maneuver around during the curfew, Deputy Premier and Interior Minister Anas Al-Saleh said.

Those who break the curfew rules are going to be jailed for up to 3 years and fined $32,267, he added.
