Al-Qabas: 38 Kuwaiti deputies were referred to public prosecution for breaching Coronavirus restrictions

The Kuwaiti Public Prosecution officially received files from the Ministry of the Interior to refer all the deputies who celebrated their victory in the parliamentary seats and demanded an investigation.

According to "Al-Qabas" newspaper, the Public Prosecution will investigate the 38 deputies currently in the Kuwaiti National Assembly and will request the lifting of their immunity to enable the lawmakers to appear before the prosecutors and take action against them.

The newspaper added that the charges against the deputies are "their violation of health requirements and their lack of commitment to social distancing, which is believed to have contributed to the further spread of the Coronavirus."

It is worth noting that Corona infections in Kuwait have jumped dramatically over the past few days, compared to last February.

The spokesman for the Ministry of  Health, Dr. Abdullah Al-Sanad, told Kuwait News Agency (KUNA), that the number of people receiving medical care in the intensive care departments has reached 167 cases.

On the other hand, Kuwaiti Minister of Health Sheikh Dr. Basil Hammoud Al-Sabah caused an uproar on social media, after he warned of the seriousness of the Coronavirus (COVID-19).

He  stated  that it would remain "until Judgment Day."

The Kuwaiti Minister of Health said, in a session of the National Assembly (Parliament), last month stressed that "the pandemic will not end.

He indicated that COVID-19 -19 will be with us until Judgment Day after it has gone out of control. Now immunization is the way out.

He pointed out that "society is pided into two parts, the first can receive the vaccine and the second cannot receive the vaccine, and they are the children," and he said, "The spread of the epidemic will decrease with vaccination."

The Kuwaiti Minister of Health revealed   that "the current spread of the Coronavirus is distributed by 60 percent among citizens and 40 percent among residents," adding that "a large part of infected residents work for Kuwaitis in their homes."
