TDT | Manama

More than 100 people have so far been caught for violating the ministerial order that obliges the wearing of face masks while in public, as part of precautionary measures being taken against the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19).

This was revealed yesterday by Public Security Chief Lt.-General Tariq Al Hassan, who said that the police directorates continue to take legal steps against violators. Al Hassan added that the violations were registered even after awareness campaigns by community police personnel were conducted, to highlight the importance of wearing masks in public places and only to leave home when necessary.
