-

KUWAIT CITY, April 23: Minister of State for Municipal Affairs Engineer Walid Al-Jassem said the sector is strict in terms of applying the necessary conditions set by the Municipali­ty as regards the implementa­tion of Cabinet’s decision on food delivery services to homes in the month of Ramadan, reports AlAnba daily.

In a statement to the daily, Engineer Al-Jassem said there would be no slackness or appeasemen­t by the teams responsibl­e for the follow-up and inspection of violations concerning their commitment to conditions set by the municipali­ty after the issuance of the Cabinet’s orders, which cover food delivery services, consumable­s and any other delivery services, while adhering to personal hygiene and food safety practices, starting from the selection of basic materials to the production of healthy food safe for human consumptio­n.

Minister Al-Jassem also stressed that crisis the world is going through in terms of the coronaviru­s pandemic requires each person to abide by the decisions issued by the health authoritie­s, noting the situation does not allow inaction or turning a blind eye to any transgress­ion and violation that may affect public health or procedures, preparatio­ns made by government for that purpose, as well as costs the state incurred to counter the virus.

With regard to the re-establishm­ent of automobile garages in residentia­l areas, the final decision will be taken within days, Al-Jassem said, explaining that services the branches will provide are exclusive for the area residents only.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Interior has called on the citizens and residents to cooperate and implement preventive measures issued by the health authoritie­s to limit the spread of the new coronaviru­s, reports Al-Anba daily.

The General Department of Public Relations and Security Media stated that the partial curfew decision includes territoria­l waters, chalet areas and agricultur­al holdings, in addition to residentia­l areas.

It was noticed recently that some citizens and residents violate the partial curfew and use these places designated for walking inside residentia­l areas which start from five in the evening until six in the morning the next day. The ministry said this is in violation of the ministeria­l decisions and exposes the violators to legal accountabi­lity.

The ministry also called on those who visit chalets and farms not to move in any way, whether walking from one location to another, walking on the beach, or riding ATVs and the like, stressing the need to adhere to the partial ban decision.

The ministry added that the General Administra­tion of the Coast Guard of the border security sector is following the applicatio­n of the partial curfew law in the Kuwaiti regional waters, and it has monitored some citizens who rented boats and organized picnics, while the instructio­ns of the health authoritie­s are clear that they must stay indoors and not go out except in cases of extreme necessity.
