Kuwait Full Curfew

Is there any chance in Kuwait of full curfew? Yes, there is a chance of full curfew but Govt of Kuwait is not going for full curfew so far just to save people from difficulties. However, Govt is taking many steps to stop the spread of corona in Kuwait and trying its best to avoid Kuwait full curfew. But if the number of daily new corona Kuwait cases keeps on increasing then Govt has to think seriously about full curfew. What are your opinion, would you like to share your views?
