Bahrain may reinstate previous COVID-19 restrictions

Cases have been rising, surpassing 750 cases on some days

Dubai: Bahrain’s National Medical Taskforce for Combating the Coronavirus (COVID-19) affirmed that the number of active cases has increased over the past two weeks, surpassing 750 cases on some days, due to non-compliance of health and precautionary guidelines during the Ashura holidays.

The Taskforce stressed that continued non-compliance with health and precautionary measures has a negative repercussion on society and negative impact on the Kingdom’s efforts, which have been praised internationally.

In the event that the number of existing cases continues to increase, decisions based on data and developments will be reviewed and a return to procedures from the previous stages to mitigate the spread of the virus may be required.
