Covid-19 patients with moderate to severe symptoms must avoid fasting, doctors say.
Covid-19 patients must consult physicians before Ramadan fasting and only asymptomatic patients should undertake religious abstinence, doctors told Khaleej Times.
Ramadan in the UAE is likely to begin on April 13 and this year marks the second Holy Month amid a pandemic.
Dr Muhammed Shafeeq, specialist pulmonology at Aster Hospital, Al Qusais said, “Most religious authorities have always stated that if a person has problems with ill health, it is better to refrain from fasting.”
