Until further notice, wearing face masks will remain mandatory in all public, industrial and commercial places, in addition to all places used to welcome customers, clients and visitors.

The resolution imposes a BHD 20 on-the-spot fine on violators. Law enforcement officials will collect the fine, document the violation and provide a receipt for the payment made.

The law enforcement official will take the necessary action when a violator refuses to pay the fine, ahead of being referred to the Public Prosecution.
