Several precautionary measures have been allocated to be followed during Eid prayer. 

The following categories of individuals are urged to avoid attending public Eid prayers:

  • Seniors over the age of 60
  • Children under the age of 12
  • Those with severe diseases or respiratory conditions (or showing symptoms of the latter)
  • People who are in contact with Covid-19 patients

Preventive measures for mosque attendees:

  • Perform ablution at home
  • Keep a physical distance of at least 1m
  • Sanitise hands before and after prayers
  • Bring personal prayer mats
  • Wear face masks

Preventive measures for social activities:

These measures have been revised keeping in mind the safety and security of the general public and to keep the infection in control.
