Bahrain's health ministry has reported 23 deaths from Covid-19, the highest daily toll in the small island nation which has seen a surge in coronavirus cases to record levels.
The Gulf Arab state last week restricted access to most public venues to immunised people after the spike in infections, which authorities mostly blamed on large gatherings during Ramazan and Eid, according to Reuters.
Bahrain, a country of 1.7 million people, had on Sunday recorded 3,177 new Covid-19 infections and 11 deaths. That took its tally to more than 218,000 cases with over 800 deaths.
