PH Embassy in Kuwait suspends operations after one employee tests positive for COVID-19

On-site operations of the Philippine Overseas Labor Office and the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration are likewise suspended during the same period.

The embassy said the suspension of its operations was done “in accordance with the protocols of the World Health Organization and the Kuwaiti Ministry of Health, which requires people in close contact with a COVID-19-positive to undergo a 14-day quarantine.” “Those with scheduled appointments with the Embassy on 2-16 July, 2020, are advised to wait for the call or message from the Embassy, preferably through WhatsApp, for the rescheduling of their appointments,” the embassy said.

Filipinos in Kuwait can still seek for assistance from the embassy and its attached agencies through its hotlines and social media accounts:
