Bahrain shuts two mosques after COVID-19 case discovered
The Ministry of Justice, Islamic Affairs and Endowments has closed two mosques after the National Medical Team for Combatting the Coronavirus (COVID-19) discovered positive COVID-19 cases within the mosques.
The mosques, located in Muharraq and the Northern Governorate, will be closed for two weeks to preserve the requirements of public health and protect worshipers, the ministry said.
The time will be used 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.
