According to the Kuwait News Agency, the Civil Service Commission said all ministries and public institutions are required to return to full attendance and normal operations, including the resumption of standard duty schedules.

Employees will return to the seven-hour workday, ending the reduced hours introduced in recent weeks.

Authorities stressed the need for strict implementation and called for a smooth transition back to full operational capacity.

The move comes after Kuwait adopted precautionary measures last month amid regional security tensions, including limiting workplace attendance, shortening working hours and shifting education to remote learning.
