Bahrain closes venues for two weeks in bid to half Covid spread

Bahrain's shopping centres, coffee shops and restaurants will close again on Thursday for two weeks as the government announced a raft of Covid-19 control measures to curb the rapid spread of the virus.

The Health Ministry said that 70 per cent of government employees must work from home while barbers, hair salons and spas join other leisure and dining venues in closing their doors while all conferences and in-person events will be cancelled.

Beaches, amusement parks, gymnasiums and swimming pools, as well as cinemas, will also be closed until 12am on June 10.
