Bahrain announced 241 confirmed coronavirus cases came from Iran, according to the health ministry.

Last month, Bahrain accused Iran of “biological aggression” by covering up the spread of the coronavirus and failing to stamp the passports of Bahraini travelers, Reuters reported.

Bahrain Ministry of Health evacuated 165 citizens from coronavirus-hit Iran last month, bringing them back to Bahrain on a chartered plane. Of the 165 people, 77 tested positive upon their arrival.

The island Kingdom has so far confirmed 569 total cases and recorded four deaths.
