Ramadan and CoVid-19

Ramadan 2020 and CoVid-19

As the Holy month of Ramadan gets under way, millions of Muslims will not be able to congregate for prayers, Iftar and other Ramadan customs. It is moral duty to follow Govt instructions regarding Ramadan religious activities. So, stay home, stay safe and stay blessed.

An agreement was reached to conditionally allow prayers in congregation, and Taraweeh -- special night prayers performed during the holy month. Following are the guideline as per the agreement has decided.

1. No carpet will laid on the floors of mosques and worshipers will keep a distance of 6 feet apart while praying.

2. Those coming to the mosque will be required to make ablution at home and wash hands for 20 seconds before going to the facility wearing faces masks.

3. Children and those older than 50 year of age, including those with conditions like flu, fever and a cough would not be allowed in the mosques for prayers.

The government will have the option to review the decision if precautionary measures are not followed or if there is a sharp increase of coronavirus cases.
