Bahrain’s health authorities are urging all citizens and residents to download the contact tracing app BeAware in order to protect themselves, their families as well as to support national efforts to contain the spread of the coronavirus (Covid-19).

The app aims to advance contact tracing efforts and raise awareness of active cases within the Kingdom.

The app provides users with Covid-19 updates within Bahrain, spreads awareness of the location of active cases and maintains accurate figures from contact tracing data provided by the Ministry of Health.

The app also identifies contact tracing cases and alerts individuals in the event they approach an active case or a location where an active case has visited or passed by.

All information provided by the app will be confidential and protected to ensure the privacy of citizens and residents. People are free to download the app or turn on its location services entirely by choice.

The app is available to download free of charge on iOS and Android from apps.bahraih.bh.
