Bahrain’s success in its fight against the coronavirus (COVID-19) relies on everyone’s commitment to strictly follow precautionary procedures and preventative measures.

This was emphasised by the Cabinet yesterday during its remote weekly meeting chaired by His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister.

The Cabinet reviewed COVID-19 developments and affirmed that national duty and social responsibility requires Team Bahrain, made up of citizens and residents, to protect the Kingdom by adhering to these safety measures with greater commitment.

Among the public precautionary measures and health guidelines to keep everyone and the community safe and prevent the spread of the virus is to wear face masks, observe social distancing, limit family gatherings, avoid large crowds, wash hands regularly, and maintain personal hygiene such as washing hands regularly, covering mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing, and avoid touching our face.

The Cabinet also urged the citizens and residents to register for vaccination in the interests of themselves, their families and the community.

The Kingdom continues to intensify mass vaccination efforts against the virus. Vaccine is available to citizens and residents at 27 health centres across the Kingdom.

The Cabinet also conveyed its sincere congratulations to His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and HRH the Crown Prince and Prime Minister on the occasion of the 53rd anniversary of the establishment of the Bahrain Defence Force (BDF).
