CAIRO: Kuwait's civil aviation authority added the United Kingdom to its high-risk list of countries on Sunday, meaning all flights from it are banned, the authority wrote on Twitter.

In August, Kuwait banned commercial flights to 31 countries which it deemed a high risk due to the spread of the coronavirus. (Reporting by Hesham Abdul Khalek and Ahmed Tolba; Editing by Hugh Lawson)
