Bahrain’s effective management of the coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis has caught the attention and won the admiration of some of the most prestigious media institutions in the world, most recently the prestigious American magazine Foreign Policy.

The new issue of the magazine narrates how countries are facing the pandemic with special mention of Bahrain’s positive response to the still-growing problem.

It highlights the Kingdom’s life moving at a normal pace amid the pandemic and how health authorities are implementing preventive and precautionary measures such as wearing of face masks, social distancing, among others to contain the spread of the virus.

On June 11, 2020, Bayan School of Bahrain organised a ceremony for the graduation of a new batch of its students in the arena of the Bahrain International Circuit (BIC), in the presence of parents and guests in their cars to witness the graduation of 26 students while following strictly the precautionary and preventive measures.

The magazine carries an eloquent picture that expresses the students’ joy at their graduation ceremony in the presence of parents in their cars.

It reflects the vitality of Bahrain, at a time when growing infection rates are becoming a daily problem for most countries around the world. And in many countries, they had no choice but to cancel graduation ceremonies due to the outbreak of the virus.

The ceremony has received wide adulation in foreign media as it highlights Bahrain’s ability to face the health crisis with more creativity and innovation.

The Foreign Policy magazine, founded in 1970, is producing journalistic content concerned with current global affairs, as well as domestic and international politics.
