According to the report of Arabtimes: “The Preventive Health, Nursing, and Ambulance Team all have knowledge of the nurse’s condition, who died today as a result of her stay in the nurse’s residence for more than 3 days, and all of them knew of her infection with the virus.

According to the press release by the Ministry’s Moral Guidance and Public Relations Directorate, the effort is part of the joint cooperation efforts of Kuwait Foundation for the Advancement of Sciences, The Defense, and the Ministry of Health. This has been done to provide the much-needed medical equipment to flatten the curve on the number of coronavirus patients in the country.
As of May 4, 2020, the total number of Coronavirus cases in Kuwait is at 4,983, with 1,776 recoveries and 38 deaths.
