The upcoming total lockdown after elections aims to protect citizens and prevent large gatherings, said the Minister of State for Political and Parliamentary Affairs Musa Al-Maaytah Monday.

He stressed that citizens in home-quarantine are infected with an infectious disease and should not take part in the voting process.

The government had announced the lockdown Sunday, which will start as soon as the election results are announced and until 6am Sunday (November 15).
