Bahrain shuts mosque as positive case detected

The Ministry of Justice, Islamic Affairs and Endowments has closed one mosque after the National Medical Team for Combatting the Coronavirus (COVID-19) discovered a positive case there. 

The mosque, located in the Northern Governorate, will be closed for one week “in order to preserve the requirements of public health and protect worshipers,” the ministry said. 

“The time will be used by the relevant teams to carry out the process of tracing contacts, sanitize the premises and ensure that all precautionary measures are taken.”
