Arab countries are adapting Ramadan traditions to pandemic
Muslim authorities have discussed regulations for online prayers and banning public dinners after sunset as Ramadan begins this week. Many mosques are closed, and vaccines are recommended.
Ramadan will feature distancing and masks for people who plan to pray at mosques
The month of Ramadan begins on Monday for some countries in the Americas and on Tuesday for most of the rest of the world.
