MANAMA — All incoming passengers arriving in Bahrain from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh must undergo a PCR test for coronavirus not more than 48 hours before departure and provide proof of a negative test result with a QR code, according to a statement from the country’s top committee to tackle coronavirus on Friday carried by the Bahrain News Agency (BNA)

According to the BNA report, the National Medical Taskforce for Combating the Coronavirus (COVID-19) has updated International arrival procedures for passengers above the age of 6 arriving through Bahrain International Airport from, or transiting through India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, effective from April 27, 2021.

All existing travel-related procedures remain in force. All returnees and visitors must undergo PCR testing upon arrival, and test again on their 5th and 10th day, activate the “BeAware Bahrain” application and sign a self-isolation agreement, which requires passengers to quarantine at their place of residence until their arrival test results are available.

The taskforce underlined that careful monitoring of epidemiological data will continue to inform decision making.
