8 discharged from quarantine in Bahrain

Bahrain's Ministry of Health has announced that eight Bahraini nationals have been discharged from quarantine after completing a preventative mandatory 14-day stay, having tested negative for the Coronavirus (COVID-19), as per recommendations outlined by the World Health Organisation (WHO).

 

The ministry highlighted that a total of 20 individuals have been discharged from quarantine so far, a Bharain News Agency report said.

 

The Ministry noted that the majority of those discharged from quarantine had  returned from Iran during February, and the others had returned from other COVID-19 affected countries.

 

The ministry further noted that all quarantined individuals are being monitored by a specialised medical team, and are cared for in line with guidelines established by the WHO, in order to ensure the containment of the virus and to safeguard the health of the



community.

 

Meanwhile, the ministry also said a male Bahraini national was discharged from the isolation centre after responding positively to the medical care provided by the Kingdom’s specialised medical team, which was in line with measures outlined by the World Health Organization (WHO).

 

The ministry confirmed the individual had gone through extensive medical testing to ensure he has fully recovered from the virus before being discharged, and will remain under monitoring post-discharge.

 

The ministry further highlighted that the individual in question had returned from Iran during the month of February, before the country announced its COVID-19 outbreak.

 

The Ministry of Health reiterates the importance of all individuals returning from Iran or other COVID-19-affected countries to schedule their mandatory medical examinations by visiting www.moh.gov.bh/444 or calling 444.
