MANAMA: Two restaurants in Manama were closed on Christmas Eve for violations of Health Ministry regulations set in place to contain the spread of Covid-19.
The closures came as ‘intensified’ inspections were conducted at 193 restaurants and cafes to ensure compliance with guidelines in place as part of the ‘Yellow Level’ alert Bahrain entered last week due to rising cases, the Health Ministry said in a statement last night.
The inspections, conducted in co-operation with the Interior Ministry, the Industry, Commerce and Tourism Ministry, and the Bahrain Tourism and Exhibitions Authority, also resulted in fines being levied on 17 restaurants.
The Health Ministry called on all citizens and residents to exercise caution and adhere to social distancing and sanitisation guidelines, and report any Covid-19 violations they observe.
