Coronavirus: Bahrain records 77 new cases among evacuees from Iran

On Sunday, Bahrain urged all arrivals from four countries, where cases of the new coronavirus have been detected, to put themselves in self-quarantine as the Gulf country seeks to curb the spread of the virus.

“All those who have come from Italy, South Korea, Egypt and Lebanon during the past two weeks have to stay in their residences inside separate rooms for 14 days as part of domestic isolation,” the Bahraini Health Ministry said in a statement.
