LONDON: Bahrain has announced that it will no longer require travelers to undergo mandatory COVID-19 quarantine upon arrival to the kingdom from Sunday, authorities announced on Thursday.
The Civil Aviation Affairs also said that passengers will also no longer need to take a PCR test at Bahrain International Airport upon their arrival.
The Kingdom further updated the protocols for contacts of active cases, which will go into effect starting from Feb. 20.
Contacts of active cases - including those who do not hold a green pass on the country’s BeAware application - will no longer have to isolate.
Tests will only be conducted to those showing COVID-19 related symptoms.
Individuals can conduct a rapid test and if the result is positive, they must head immediately to one of the drive-through testing centers to undergo a PCR test.
They can also conduct a PCR test at a private hospital or book one via the BeAware application.
