Kuwait City: The Kuwait Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has decided to suspend all flights to and from Iran following recommendations from the Ministry of Health.
The move comes after Iran's confirmation of several cases of infection with the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).
In a press statement, the authority said that all expats who visited Iran over the past two weeks will not be allowed to enter the country, even if they have valid visas.
Kuwaiti citizens, who visited Iran during the same period, will be put in quarantine at special health facilities, it noted.
The authority also called on all citizens to postpone travel to Iran, until further notice.
