SEVERAL major events have been cancelled or postponed for health and safety reasons, writes the GDN's Ghazi Alshehabi.
The 16th edition of the Bahrain International Garden Show 2020 which was scheduled to start on Tuesday has been postponed to next year.
“The decision was taken based on Bahrain’s deep sense of responsibility in dealing with the fast-paced developments and the kingdom’s particular keenness on the health and well-being of citizens and residents amid efforts to tackle the coronavirus (Covid-19) across the globe,” the National Initiative for Agricultural Development said in a statement yesterday.
“The decision is also in line with the instructions of the National Disaster Management Committee to postpone activities and events in order to support the kingdom’s efforts in this regard.”
The Streat Food Festival, organised by Ayadi Relief, which was supposed to start today has also been postponed.
