Kuwait has called on its citizens to avoid travel to several European countries hit hard by the Omicron coronavirus variant, reports AFP.
In a series of statements, the oil-rich Gulf state also urged Kuwaitis already there to return home because of the surge in cases on the continent.
The foreign ministry said they should “delay their trips” generally and, in particular, to France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Spain and Italy.
It also urged its citizens, often big spenders abroad, to leave those countries “considering the significant and unprecedented rise in the number of new cases” of Covid-19.
