Manama: Mahmood Rafique, Editor: The Ministry of Health Bahrain has reported 519 new cases during the testing and the total death tally from the COVID-19 reached 92.
“Out of 9114 COVID-19 tests carried out on June 30, 519 new cases have been detected among 293 expatriate workers, 221 new cases are contacts of active cases, and five are travel related. There were 403 recoveries from the COVID-19, taking the total number to 21331.” Total number of tests recorded as of Tuesday were 554239 and the number of active cases were 5335 and stable were 5289. The critical patients were 46 while 86 active cases were receiving treatment. The total number of discharged patients reached 21331.
The spike in deaths and number of cases is largely attributable to a deliberate non-compliance of the health and safety guidelines developed and implemented by the authorities.
The non-compliance of precautionary measures issued by the Ministry of Health has enhanced the possibility of spreading of the virus among citizens at an alarming level.
The Ministry of Health stressed that it is the national responsibility of all to follow the precautionary health measures enacted by the government, which include vigilantly following social distancing guidelines, to ensure the mitigation of COVID-19 and the safety of the community.
The Ministry highlighted that recent COVID-19 testing has indicated an increase in cases from contacts of active COVID-19 cases, particularly from family and social gatherings, leaving home for unnecessary reasons, and negligence when complying with the health measures and guidelines issued.
