Bahrain's Ministry of Health on Wednesday reported that the Kingdom had conducted over one million Covid-19 PCR diagnostic tests.
In an update on the Kingdom's Covid-19 response, Bahrain's Minister of Health Faeqa bint Saeed Alsaleh, confirmed the milestone figure had been reached as part of the 'Trace, Test, Treat' strategy that has involved proactive testing on a scale well above many other countries.
The minister highlighted this strategy has resulted in Bahrain conducting 675 tests per 1,000 people, one of the highest rates in the world. Equally, with only 4.8 per cent of positive cases from total tested, Bahrain is recording cases well below the WHO's determination that an effective testing policy should identify no more than one positive case per 11 tests.
With a high recovery rate of 92.2 per cent, the minister explained Bahrain has been able to capture positive cases from those who are asymptomatic or with minor symptoms and has been able to quarantine and trace more effectively, minimising the potential for onward transmission.
Meanwhile, the ministry has reported 369 new cases of the Covid-19 coronavirus, along with 357 recoveries.
Of the new cases, 134 were among expatriate workers, 232 were contacts of active cases, and three were travel related.
Three new deaths were also reported. The death toll rose to 178.
As many as 9,647 Covid-19 tests were carried out on August 19, the ministry said, taking the total number of recoveries to 44278.
There are currently 39 Covid-19 cases in a critical condition, and 75 cases receiving treatment. 3,455 cases are stable out of a total of 3,494 active cases.
