BeAware Bahrain’ App now offers COVID-19 rapid antigen test results

Manama: In line with directives issued by His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, to maximise the use of technology to respond to COVID-19, the Information and eGovernment Authority (iGA) has announced a new service to the ‘BeAware Bahrain' app, allowing users to upload photos of their COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Test results to the app and submit them to relevant authorities at the Ministry of Health.

The new service compliments efforts by the National Taskforce for Combatting the Coronavirus (COVID-19) to control and limit the spread of the virus.

The Rapid Antigen Test is currently available at pharmacies throughout the Kingdom of Bahrain. This service provides a digital channel that allows individuals to quickly communicate with specialized authorities at the Ministry of Health, and also streamlines test procedures for the public, ensuring quicker testing and results.

Users can select ‘Reporting COVID-19 Test Results' under the eServices List and enter their ID card numbers. They can then take a photo of the test results,
