>> The mosques will be closed as soon as the prayer is offered.
>> I'tikaf (retreat at mosques) will not be allowed.
>> Worshippers are to wear masks at all times.
>> They have to bring their own prayer mats to the mosques.
>> They have to maintain adequate social distance, as guided by floor stickers.
>> The elderly and those with chronic diseases have been asked to refrain from going to the mosques and instead offer the prayer at home.
