DUBAI -- Kuwait recorded six new coronavirus recoveries on Wednesday, bringing the total to 111 out of 743 confirmed cases, Health Minister Dr. Basel Al-Sabah announced on his official Twitter account.

Meanwhile, Kuwait has recorded only one death related to the new virus as of Tuesday, according to the health ministry.

Al-Sabah had previously mentioned a 72-year-old Kuwaiti man and a 2-year-old boy recovered. An 82-year-old woman recovered last week as well.

Kuwait has implemented several strict measures over the past few weeks to combat the spread of the virus. The country’s Cabinet imposed a total lockdown on some areas for two weeks which started on Monday. A partial curfew in effect across the country was extended to 6 a.m. -- Al Arabiya English
