This will come into force from March 8 next.
Kuwait has the largest number of infections with 56 persons in the Middle East outside Iran.
The Gulf nation did not report any new cases on Tuesday.
Of late, Kuwaiti authorities have instituted a slew of measures aimed at containing the spread of the virus, including quarantines and banning visits to prisons for two weeks.
