Violators could be jailed up to three years or fined up to 10,000 dinars ($33,000), Deputy Prime Minister Anas Al Saleh said.
He said the curfew was imposed due to non-compliance with the precautionary measures to fight the coronavirus spread.
Al Saleh said the Kuwaiti Cabinet also decided to extend a suspension of the government and private sectors for another two weeks
