Bahrain: Mosque closed after discovery of positive COVID-19 case
The Ministry of Justice, Islamic Affairs and Endowments has closed one mosque in Muharraq for one week after the National Medical Team for Combatting the Coronavirus (COVID-19) discovered a positive case within the mosque.
The mosque will be closed to preserve the requirements of public health and protect worshipers, the ministry said.
The time will be used by the relevant teams to trace contacts, sanitize the premises and ensure that all precautionary measures are taken.
The ministry warned that it would follow up on the implementation of the mandatory measures at mosques and intensify inspections to protect worshippers’ health and safety.
