Bahrain on Monday recorded 61 new coronavirus cases, taking the total number of the confirmed cases in the country to 1482.

"Up to 1,218 coronavirus patients have recovered so far, after reporting 29 new recoveries," the health ministry in Bahrain said in a statement.

"8 cases have died due to COVID-19 so far," it added.

Several world countries have tightened restrictions on movement and travel, with the aim of curbing the spread of the Coronavirus, and some have pledged billions of dollars in economic stimulus programs to reduce the economic repercussions of the crisis.

It is worth mentioning that, more cases of the virus, which causes respiratory disease COVID-19, continue to emerge, with outbreaks in South Korea, Italy, and Iran.

People across the globe partake in self-isolation for 14 days as an effective precautionary measure to protect those around them and themselves from contracting COVID-19.

Transmission of virus between humans happens when someone comes into contact with an infected person’s secretions, such as droplets in a cough.

It can also be transmitted by coming into contact with something an infected person has touched and then touching your mouth, nose or eyes.
