The Kuwaiti Cabinet is the competent authority to issue general measures that restrict freedoms such as prohibition, prior authorization, notification, and regulation of activity.

Restricting the right to public meetings and freedom of movement through curfew decisions for the population with the increasing rate of spread of the virus.

The study concluded that general measures should be correlated in proportion to the degree of risk resulting from the spread of the COVID-19 virus and strictly proportional to health risks and conditions of time and place, while not exaggerating the continuous health threat of the COVID-19 epidemic in order not to be a cause for placing more restrictions on freedoms and personal rights.
