Dubai: Bahrain’s Ministry of Health announced today another 47 new coronavirus infections and two more recoveries, pushing the tally of patients recovered to 557.
Four patients are said to be in critical condition while the remaining 520 are in a stable condition.
Two individuals from the newly confirmed cases had traveled abroad, while 45 had been in contact with previously infected patients, the ministry said.
Bahrain is one of the first countries in the world to ease restrictions, allowing shopping malls and some stores to open as of April 9, according to Al Arabiya.
Bahrain was among the first countries in the Arabian Gulf to enforce strict restrictions, including closing all movie theatres, gyms, public swimming pools, and theme parks on March 18.
The restrictions seem to have slowed down the rate of infection, with the number of new cases falling in recent days.
