KUWAIT CITY — The Kuwait health ministry on Tuesday reported 671 new cases of the COVID-19 coronavirus, along with 580 recoveries.

Four new deaths were also reported.

With this, a total of 60,434 cases have been reported in the country, along with 50,919 recoveries. The death tally stands at 412.

There are 9,103 active cases in the country right now, of which 127 in serious condition.

As many as 4,157 new COVID-19 tests have been carried out in the country, the ministry said, taking the total number of tests to 466,861.

Kuwait began slowly easing restrictions earlier this month and has since allowed commercial activities to resume operations.

Mosques were also allowed to reopen in Kuwait for the first time in more than three months on Friday, welcoming believers for prayers who were ordered to maintain social distancing measures.
