“Psychologically, most people feel positive during this year’s Ramadhan following the lift of coronavirus restrictions, which encouraged them to return to their normal Ramadhan practices,” Dr. Saud Al-Ghanem, Sociology professor at Kuwait University (KU), said.<\/p>\n
Speaking to KUNA, Al-Ghanem said people would notice roads’ congestions, more visits and an increase in shoppers.<\/p>\n

Dr. Khodhr Al-Baroun, a professor of psychology at KU, said family gatherings would increase this year with extended families having Iftar (breakfast) meals, making “this blessed month quite different than rest of months of the year.<\/p>\n
“Anxiety over the pandemic during the last two years vanished and this will increase gatherings among family members and friends,” he told KUNA.<\/p>\n
Dr. Ahmad Al-Shatti, Director of Ahmadi medical area, urged people to follow healthy lifestyle during Ramadhan in increase to reduce weight and improve their physical and psychological well-being.<\/p>\n
He urged families to keep their children out of kitchen in order to prevent accidents.<\/p>\n
Al-Shatti also urged worshippers to wear masks while in mosques, and people in general to avoid crowds.<\/p>\n
