COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Test results service now available on BeAware Bahrain App

The Information & eGovernment Authority (iGA) has announced a new service to the ‘BeAware Bahrain' app that allows 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 service is 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. It complements 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 Bahrain. The service provides a digital channel that allows individuals to communicate quickly with specialized authorities at the Ministry of Health and 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, whether positive or negative, upload it, and then enter their phone numbers and send their photos. Once the results are received, an automatic SMS is sent to the user's phone
