Two people have been handed three months of mandatory house arrest after being found guilty by the Lower Criminal Court of breaking the self-quarantine rule.

One of them is a Bahraini man who went to buy fish in violation of the self-isolation rule put in place to contain the spread of the Coronavirus Disease (Covid-19).

“The defendants will spend three months under house arrest,” said the Lower Criminal Court.

“They were instructed to stay home for two weeks after they returned from a country infected with Covid-19.

“The first went to Bahrain International Airport and the second went to Manama Central Market to buy fish.”

The GDN reported last month that a lawyer and businessman were also given three months mandatory house arrest by the same court for breaking the self-quarantine rule.
